Hey! Got my first unsolicited endorser!!! A mini-review of the CigarBox amp...

[Boggs]

He is a moderator on Luthierforum's WorkBench forum... Saw myy site and decided to try one of my little CigarBox amps a-la-carte with L-pad and has just gone NUTS over it! Check out what he wrote about it on his blog/news page...

Check out his guitars and site from the homepage, too, at http://www.aerieguitars.com . Nice work, for sure! Boggs

Cool!

 

Looks like somebody really, really likes you, Sally Field. (Well, your amps anyway! )

[Guitarzan]

most cool Boggs, did he say Keaggy has one also?

sweet.

[A String]

Fantastic Boggs! Keep that wheel turning!

[Dr. Ellwood]

Wow that is a good one Boggs! congratulations man!

[caprae]

Well, I'm impressed. Guess I know what the kids might be getting for Christmas. I know you've said how good these are so maybe it's time to give em a try. (P.S. I'm a Phil Keaggy fan, too.)

Okay, time to share my ignorance, Boggs. Explain to me how a half watt can drive a 4x12 to "rattle the walls volumes"? Are we talking Japanese rice paper walls? I'm only half kidding here. I really want to know this.

Hey, I just listened to the clip, that was a pretty sweet tone.

1/2 watt in a full-range complex music program would be a strain, for sure, but guitar focuses more on midrange frequencies over a relatively narrow band and utilizes that half-watt far more efficiently. You won't get pure clean tones at rattling volume but when you start hitting overdrive, it gets WAAAAY louder than you can imagine it would. I would not be able to drive it hard in our church playing for Sunday service through my 1x12 British Series open-back without pissing off enough congregation members to storm out, for sure! The 4x12 is still the same impedence, but provides bigger surface area for the same power output... You won't be able to play clean at those volumes but look out when you crank it up and get dirty!

Bogg(le)s my mind. Thank you.
