Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Ampster is a clever little box – a surprisingly good tube preamp and speaker simulator in a pedal format. It’s perfect for guitarists needing a warm, responsive clean or mild overdrive tone, especially those recording at home or needing a decent DI signal on the road. It's a really useful tool for adding tube mojo without the bulk and expense of a full amp.

- • 12AX7 tube delivers genuine tube warmth and harmonic richness.
- • Speaker simulations convincingly mimic classic cabinet tones, great for DI.
- • Serial FX loop allows for seamless integration of external effects pedals.
- • Compact design and balanced DI output make it ideal for studio and stage.
- • Limited gain range; excels at cleaner tones and mild overdrive.
- • Construction feels a bit plasticky, lacking premium amp build quality.
- • Speaker simulations, while good, aren't a substitute for a real cab.
