Powerful sound in a ultra-compact format.

A newly designed circuit layout centered on the unique German-made Spirit Tone Generator delivers the most sought-after metal sounds of every era. Anything goes, from classic to modern, from slicing lead sounds to bruising rhythm tone for bludgeoning riffs. And this little shredder’s delight is all analog, authentic, latency-free and supernaturally responsive to your touch.

Shoehorned into a handy ultra-compact format, every Spirit Nano is a pocket-sized amp that sounds huge. Delivering up to 50 watts at 4 ohms, it packs a punch powerful enough for a 4×12″ cab!

Easy handling. Multiple benefits.

The Gain, Tone, Master and Sagging controls provide all the tools you need to quickly and easily dial in sounds to delight novices and professionals alike.

With a RedBox integrated into the Headphones Out circuit, it’s perfect for practicing without a speaker and, with the proper interface, also a great recording tool. And your favorite software speaker simulations are going to love the pure signal provided by its Line Out.

The added usp – the sagging control.

The sagging control gives players total control over power amp sagging – that is, the way the output stage behaves when pushed hard.

This knob puts touch-sensitive, musical response and the tone-shaping possibilities of vintage tube amps at players’ fingertips.

A nudge of the Sagging knob dials in the legendary tones of cranked tube amps – anything goes from hair-trigger response and bone-dry tone to powerful compression and juicy, beefy sound.
