Members t_e_l_e Posted December 1, 2017 Members Share Posted December 1, 2017 after seeing one for the first time over 20 years ago, i was always lusting for this little fella. once i came really close to buy one, but it was a black one and not the brown so i passed. i almost forgot about them, that they still exist, but saw 2 weeks ago with my kid crossroads, wanted to teach them some history of blues my 7year old daughter now asks me if there is a 30th song from robert johnson, strike, mission accomplished but i could not get the pignose amp out of my head so i went to ebay and needed to order one overseas, seems nobody is currently selling them in europe. today it arrived and i had some time to play. it sounds really nice for such a small amp. not at all farty as other battery amps i know. and volume wise it is really not sleeping kids friendly its more than a fun toy and looks absolutely classy together with my ikea furniture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 A true classic - congrats! Try unlatching the cab and have one of your kids open and close it in time as you're playing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Grant Harding Posted December 3, 2017 Members Share Posted December 3, 2017 HNAD! Those are cool. I sold mine a couple of years ago, but played a few parties with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t_e_l_e Posted December 3, 2017 Author Members Share Posted December 3, 2017 why did you sell it? its small, does not need much space, would not make much money, but can be really handy if the occasion calls for it.for me i don't need it, but its like a capo i sparly use, its good to have one fun fact from me:if i count everything i almost overtaking my number of guitars with ampsaltough my collection is nothing really special: Vox ampplug rockPignose 7-100Park (the son of marshall) G-10 (chainsaw massacre)Line6 Spider2 15Laney LC15-RPeavey Classic 30 and the two i really useBYOC Tweed RoyalSovtek Midget50h 9 amps vs. 11 guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted December 3, 2017 Members Share Posted December 3, 2017 It was just one of those things I guess. I mostly didn't use it and don't have a lot of space. I had it for several years. I still have 2 really nice amps and an old Line 6 one, so I'm set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeepEnd Posted December 3, 2017 Members Share Posted December 3, 2017 Happy New Amp Day. Glad you're enjoying it. With the one big knob it looks more like a pedal than an amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted December 3, 2017 Members Share Posted December 3, 2017 The way that single volume works is cool and useful. It starts clean, then just gets more distorted as you turn it up, but not much louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 you mean full analog manuell rotating speaker? you're still or already awake? must be middle of the night at your side of the pond... To quote Elvis (Costello), "close-up of a sign that says 'we never close...'" When you open and close a Pignose amp's back, it creates as sound that's more like a wah, although if you have a carousel of some kind, you can have your kid spin around on that while holding the amp for a rotating speaker effect... note that it might take a while to untangle the cord from around your kid once you're done...

Members Grant Harding Posted December 5, 2017 Members Share Posted December 5, 2017 That's a cool idea - build a little tripod and suspend the amp from a swivel so you can spin it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
