Covered already? Dunno.

Anyhoo the Peavey Bandit thread made me appreciate the Tiny amps I have and use for certain things.

Danelectro DM10 '60s - Mit tremelo.. very cool looking, Jensen 8". Boxy.

Univox ULM 6 '70s- Japanese Champ with line out, built well. I replaced the nasty stock speaker with a Celestion. Honky.

Electra battery-powered - Uses like 10 AA batteries, 4" speaker, looks and sounds wonderful. I've never seen another, I'm sure they made a lot of them at some point. From the '70s.

What do you use? Keep it under 6 watts, 10" speaker.

Radio Shack made a horrible little intercom amp in the 80's that pushed maybe a half watt through a 3" speaker, that I've gotten interesting results from.

Kalamazoo Model 2 - Tremolo, two inputs. Replaced the stock CTS speaker with a Weber Sig 10. Sounds nice now.

PEPCO Model 207(?) - no-name Canadian amp with two 8" Jensens. Breaks up nice and early.

Ruby amp- 1/2 watt battery powered DIY amp. I built it into a children's suitcase I found at a thrift store. Way louder than I expected.

I have been scouting one of those pignose amps...they sound great...

I always wanted one of those Smokeys.

Look for a Lectrosonics Mouse as well - try ebay

My dad had a Pignose, the pot was very very touchy, the static this caused always made it very hard to use.

EDIT: I forgot I had this little thing:



It's pretty loud, doesn't sound too bad for what it is. I paid $6 at the thrift store, it's in mint shape, they're supposed to be fairly rare to find.

I rock this washburn solid state thing, I dont konw a whole lot about it, other than it was my wife's bass amp for practice, and it sounds like the end of the cock-sucking world when you turn everything all the way up and attack a telecaster. brain ripping distortion, i tell you!

kalamazoo is great. contemporary: tiny terror by orange.

I’m looking for something tiny at the moment. I normally use a 50w head that switches to 25w… either way it rattles the whole house. I have a Smokey – it sounds like crap. I need something in between.

I’d really like a Mini-mat – but they are too expensive. £350 I cannot afford.

Yesterday I saw one of these - The Ant Killer. I might give it a go. Anyone tried one?
