TONEKING / Gremlin Head, Cream

The TONEKING Gremlin Head is a head version of the Gremlin, an all-tube amplifier represented by TONEKING, an American boutique guitar amplifier brand.

The American boutique guitar amp brand Tone King has released the Gremlin, a compact all-tube amp that can be used at home and is based on the tone of American vintage amps.
The Gremlin is a model developed as an amp that has the powerful sound of American vintage amps, but is compact and simple to operate.
We have reduced the harsh sound that is common in compact amps, and have achieved a loose, rough sound that is a characteristic of American vintage amps.
At the same time, we have also been able to give it powerful bass and piercing treble like a large amp.
There are only two controls, volume and tone, but it has two input terminals (RHYTHM and LEAD) with different tones and gain levels.
The RHYTHM input terminal has a lower gain level than the LEAD input terminal.
You can use it like a channel selection by switching the input using a switcher such as a commercially available A/B box for the signal from the guitar.
The preamp is equipped with two 12AX7 vacuum tubes and the power amp is equipped with one KT66 vacuum tube.

The ported cabinet structure and 12-inch custom Celestion speaker give it a rich volume that belies its compact appearance.

The single-ended output method also eliminates the need for vacuum tube bias adjustment, which requires specialized knowledge.

The Gremlin is an amplifier with a luxurious feel, retro looks and great old school tone.
