THE CLUB by ZT
THE CLUB by ZT

The Club is ZT Amplifiers’ premium, stage-ready musical instrument amplifier. It offers a no-compromise output level and frequency range while remaining true to the ZT design spirit of compact and lightweight gear for the real world.

Like all ZT products, the Club is simple and intuitive enough to allow anyone to plug and play without much effort.

The Club is the amp that shows what ZT can accomplish without limits. With the Lunchbox, ZT proved that a tiny amp can hold its own on stage. Now they introduce a compact, lightweight 12” combo that can hold its own with anything.

Sharing the same proprietary electronics design of the Lunchbox amp, the Club is capable of delivering 200 watts with output over 130dB…and it weighs in at just 22 pounds and it is just a few inches bigger than the custom 12” driver inside!

The Club expands on the Lunchbox platform by featuring separate bass & treble controls, an effects loop, and a traditional reverb. The rock-solid enclosed cabinet reinforces the Club’s serious, kick-you-in-the-chest low end. Highs and mids are detailed, with rich harmonics and an immediate attack that lets the player really connect with the amp.

The Club is ZT with the gloves off and there is simply no stage it won’t fill.

Mind blowing.

Now, with the Lunchbox Acoustic, this level of performance is available for working singer-songwriters, vocalists and demanding acoustic players of all styles. The Lunchbox Acoustic is easy to carry and easy to use, but provides plenty of clear, natural, room-filling sound when you need it.

THE LUNCHBOX by ZT
THE LUNCHBOX by ZT

Since hitting the streets in February 2009, the ultra-compact ZT Lunchbox amplifier has changed the way many players think about amps. 

The Lunchbox has proven that an amp does not need to be big to be loud, or expensive to sound great. What's more, you can actually gig with an amp that weighs less than 10 pounds

Doubters have become believers – The Lunchbox really delivers.

Packing 200 watts of power, the Lunchbox has enough output for a jam or live gig, and world-class tone that has pros using it in the studio as well as onstage. Unlike any other amp close to its size, it has the muscle to handle any effects you throw in front of it, and the warmth and depth to sound great with single-coil pickups as well as humbuckers.

Go ahead, plug in and see for yourself. Then, lift your jaw up off the floor, toss your Lunchbox in a backpack with some cords and pedals, and get out there and play!

Mind boggling!

Pignose 7-100 portable amp
Pignose 7-100 portable amp

Created in 1972 and famously used by Frank Zappa, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin and many others, the Pignose 7-100 guitar amplifier answers a worldwide demand for a high quality, economical and completely portable amplifier and it gives the electric guitar the same mobility as the acoustic weighing only five pounds! You can even attach a standard guitar strap and sling the Pignose over your shoulder.

Powered by six AA batteries (not included) or by an optional AC adapter which is easily stored inside the amplifier case.

It's a Practice Amp: With a Pignose, you can practice anywhere at any time. It features a full array of tones from clean to crunchy.

It's a First Amp: The Pignose 7-100 combines economy with quality and will never outlive its usefulness when you buy up to bigger amps. It will always be handy for traveling and for working on quick ideas on the road. And it has a pre amp out jack!

It's a Studio and Performing Amp: The Pignose 7-100 sound is so good that many players use it as a preamp in stage and studio performances. This is done by sending the pre amp out signal to a bigger amp or PA (for stage performances) or to the recording console (for recording).

It's the Ultimate Portable Amp: This is the one that started it all more than thirty years ago.

Yes, the powerful little Pignose, with its distinctively funky Pignose sound, has been on call in countless recording studios, rehearsal halls, dressing rooms, dorm rooms and backyards around the world since the rockin' seventies. Get tones from clean to pig-filthy with the turn of the coolest volume knob in the world.

5 watts of gigantic earth shattering power, a 5" loudspeaker, AC/DC operation. Requires 6 AA batteries (not included) or optional AC adapter, which is also available for purchase in the Accessories section of our website.

(all the above superlatives are by Pignose - we are a little more reserved and we simply think that this is a great go-anywhere and sturdy little amp that is always going to be a useful and fun bit of kit to own).

MICRO SPIDER from LINE 6
MICRO SPIDER from LINE 6

We are always trying to find products that sound great, travel well and suit the instruments we specialise in and we have looked long and hard for a really good one in this class.

The Line 6 Micro Spider is a portable amp that does an all round great job in a compact package and one that can be driven by battery and by mains so it will go where you go.

This amp provides all the essential effects and works really well for all electric styles and it also has a superior acoustic guitar modelling feature so folk and classical guitarists can also enjoy this amp just as much. 

Great at home, in a caravan or boat but it is perfect too taken to the office or wherever you work and when you want to make a bit of noise whilst you practice or develop some ideas. Or perhaps you fancy a bit of busking ? 

The amp produces 6 watts and weighs just 7 pounds so it is not meant for out and out gigging, but we are confident that it will please and inspire.

Not too useful for bass guitarists so we are still working on something for them.

THE LUNCHBOX Extension Cabinet
THE LUNCHBOX Extension Cabinet

The ZT Lunchbox Cab is built on the platform of the highly acclaimed Lunchbox amplifier. It’s a Lunchbox without the amp…a passive extension speaker, with the same solid-as-a-brick cabinet housing the same custom-design 6.5” driver used in the Lunchbox amp. 

Weighing less than 7 pounds, the Cab can blast out over 120dB, and sounds great doing it. The Cab also features a phase switch to provide accuracy in any situation. Connect the Cab to the Lunchbox amp’s external speaker output and build a Lunchbox stack!

Or, spread them apart a few feet to create spatial imaging. 

But why not go further and put them on opposite sides of the stage and give your sound a dimension that will make the crowd’s heads swim. 

Sure, bigger cabinets can sound great – but do you really need them now?
