Guitar players are constantly seeking that perfect tone, and sometimes, the best sounds come from unexpected places. Recently, a low-wattage practice amp gained notoriety as a studio secret weapon, praised for its wiry and aggressive sonic character across guitar, bass, and even drums. Now, Acorn Amplifiers has captured that sought-after essence in their latest innovation: the Solid State. This isn’t just another preamp pedal; it’s a fully realized guitar pedal amp meticulously engineered to deliver authentic amp tones directly to your pedalboard.
The Acorn Amps Solid State stands out by incorporating the TDA series class-AB power amp, the very component that defined the sonic signature of the original, now-legendary amp. This commitment to authentic recreation ensures that you’re not just getting a taste, but the full flavor of that classic amp circuitry in a modern, pedal-friendly format. From sparkling, pristine cleans to intensely driven, high-gain breakup, the Solid State offers a comprehensive range of amp tones. Its intuitive Low, Mid, and High controls empower you to precisely sculpt your desired frequency response, making it a versatile tool for any guitarist.
Designed for ultimate flexibility, this guitar pedal amp features dual output jacks. Use it as a preamp seamlessly integrated into your existing pedal chain, or connect directly to a speaker cabinet for a standalone 10-watt amplifier experience. You can even utilize both outputs simultaneously, opening up creative routing possibilities. A toggle switch further expands tonal options, allowing you to select the signal output point—before or after the power amp circuit—giving you even greater command over your sound. Two footswitchable modes, Normal and Saturation, accessible via footswitch, provide on-the-fly tonal shifts, indicated by a bi-color LED. With true bypass and 18VDC power, the Acorn Solid State is engineered for seamless integration into professional pedalboard setups, offering legendary amp tone in a compact, gig-ready package.
