Electro-Harmonix Dirt Road Special - 40W Verstärker für E-Gitarre

Excellent, non-conventional lightweight guitar combo amp

I had the 1970 version of this amp at home from a friend for repair, many years ago. The power transformer was broken.
Once repaired, I remained surprised by the sounds you could get from that simple amp!
This new version of that project confirms those impressions: the sound is somewhat dark at first, expecially with humbuckers but, once you learn how to use the (unconventional) Tone and Bite controls, you can get EVERY tone you want, from jazzy mellow to sparkling clean rhythm. Put an overdrive (or distortion) pedal in front of it and you'll get very good rock/blues tones. The digital reverb effect is pleasant and flexible. The power is more than enough in a studio situation. In short, a very good sounding, lightweight combo, worth every euro spent on it.
