Semi Rare Gear...Mountain Amp
Finally got around to doing some photos of my Mountain Amp. The now defunct company was based in Vancouver and made small amps with wood cabinets, mostly maple. This one was supposedly made for a NAMM show and features a solid Koa cabinet. Never seen another.
Here you see the vast control center, a volume knob. That's it. You can do a lot with it by using the guitar tone and volume. One of the hallmarks of these amps is that they just make it louder and add little to what the guitar produces. Here's the back showing preamp and speaker out jacks. It will easily power a 12" cabinet if needed. And, its most unique feature. It is powered by a 9V battery. Very surprised no one has picked up these designs to start production. Very clean little amps for acoustic or electric and far better than most of the portables around now. |

Very clean, loud sound. I plugged in an acoustic I had with a Baggs SBT and slowly brought up the volume. It was hard to tell when the sound shifted from the guitar alone to the amp. When it got really loud, you could tell by the direction more than the sound. Lot of sound from a very small box.

I don't know. That seems unnecessarily complicated.

It the amp for people whose VCR's still flash "12:00" constantly

Seems like a refined take on a Pignose. Very tasty.
