BROKEN AMP SIMULATORS ARE SOLD OUT There are currently no plans to make more but that may change in the future WE'RE BACK ... with 12 more units! We've added "polarity protection" diodes, shielded cable from input to output and finally a high quality GORVA soft clicking footswitch. Visit our INSTAGRAM page for demo videos DID YOU KNOW? The first distorted guitar tones ever commited to a recorded medium were caused by broken amplifiers. It’s kind of a thing now. PRO TIPS: MAL and FUNCTION are extremely interdependent. Crank them up, then dial backwards for different sonic textures from clean gain to sub octave fuzz. Use the Tone control for a brighter distortion or a muddy synth style. Unsure where to start? Turn every knob all the way to the right like the pros! Use a quality PSU or a 9v battery for best results ... FROM PREVIOUS RUN: "If it ain't broke ... buy a BROKEN AMP SIMULATOR" Ever since the tune "Rocket 88" hit the airwaves, guitar players have looked for ways to capitalize on their malfunctioning equipment. Overdrive, distortion, fuzz, sub octave - all of these sounds came from equipment that was behaving, well... poorly! Nowadays, the sound of distortion is as common as a cold, but we don't necessarily want our expensive and otherwise reliable equipment to catch it. That's where Captain Jake's Broken Amp Simulator comes in - a bona fide speaker rippin', tube slippin contortioner of distortion. The B.A.S. features five knobs to tweak the sounds of old-school boosts, 60's fuzzes, high gain distortion and noisy sub-octave bit crushing sounds. Only a few left out of the current run of 49 units! -

SO, you wanted a drive pedal that has an AUTHENTIC cranked, tube amp sound? Maybe we’ve been going about this the wrong way, maybe instead of haranguing JFETs and OPAMPS into approximations of sweet, sweet tube overdrive we should have just been using our sweet little tube amps in the first place! And that’s where the RE-CHAMP comes in. The RE-CHAMP allows you to dust off your Champ Amp (or any other similarly sized tube amp under 10 watts) and route it safely as a pre-amp, dirtbox, overdrive or whatever, into another amp. The illustration shown on the RE-CHAMP is meant to demonstrate it’s standard hook-up and use; plug your guitar into the RE-CHAMP input, then plug your small amp’s input into the DUMMY AMP INPUT jack. Now your guitar is routed into your small amp when the pedal is engaged. From here we take the SPEAKER OUTPUT from your dummy amp and route it to the DUMMY AMP OUTPUT jack of the RE-CHAMP. Finally, the RE-CHAMP output jack is hooked up to your bigger amp, your pedal board, recording desk, whatever.
