Expert Tip: Creative Recording with Pignose

Frequently Asked Questions about Pignose Amps (FAQ)
Can Pignose amps be used with a power adapter?
Yes, most models like the 7-100 feature a DC input for an optional power adapter, but they can also be operated with standard batteries for maximum freedom.
How does opening the case affect the sound?
Since the classic Pignose amplifier has a hinged design, you can change the tone by opening it to different degrees. A closed case provides more punch in the bass range, while an open case sounds airier and more spacious.
Is the Pignose amp loud enough for busking?
Absolutely! Despite its small size, the Pignose has considerable projection and has been the first choice for buskers worldwide for decades.
