Marshall MS 2 Standard Microbe

The history of guitar amps is characterised by certain eras or models, such as the Blackface era or the Plexi era. However, there is no era as iconic as the tweed amp era of the late 50s and early 60s. These amps were (and still are) highly regarded for their well-earned reputation for world-class sound and simplicity of construction. They were and are used in virtually every genre of music and have helped to create the signature sounds and styles of many guitarists....n fact, you can hardly listen to music today without hearing the influence of Tweed amps somewhere in the mix....or at least a Tweed amp model.Koch Guitar Amplifiers, in collaboration with Greg Koch (no relation), would like to introduce the Little Gristle! This tweed covered single 12" combo has brought the late 50's into 2023 for both the vintage purist and the modern guitarist. The Class A single-ended amp has only 4 controls (Gristle/Preamp knob, the Tone knob and More/Power knob, plus the extra switch to add some "dirt" to the sound) and can be switched from 4 to 12 watts. The power soak and speaker simulator developed by Koch makes it possible to disconnect the actual speaker and drive the amplifier directly into a recording console. Finally, a classic spring reverb rounds off the package. Connect the Little Gristle to your favourite guitar... or any guitar! Choose clean or more edgy and you'll be amazed by the purity and honesty of this amplifier. Like its tweed-era cousins, the Little Gristle responds to your playing style in a very organic and musical way.... lighten your pick and the amp cleans up.... dig in and the amp bites back... Not in a modern overdrive way, but in a very vintage tube way that suits any style of music. So the question is... What kind of amp is the new Koch Little Gristle? Is it a blues amplifier, a rock amplifier, a jazz amplifier or a country amplifier?The answer is yes!
