One of three models, the single-channel Spirit of Rock delivers rock and lead sounds unrivalled in this device class. This amp’s astonishing power output belies its miniature format. Pumping out up to 50 watts at 4 ohms, it delivers plenty of juice to drive even a 4x12" cab. Alongside Gain, Tone and Master knobs, the Nano Head offers a unique Sagging control that dials in delectable power amp saturation.

A nudge is all it takes to experience the authentic feel and responsiveness of a power amp pushed to its sweet spot – with zero latency and no compromises. Featuring a Headphones Out, a RedBox and an Aux-In for jamming along with tracks, the Spirit of Rock is your constant companion – take it everywhere to rock your world.

A newly designed circuit layout centered on the unique German-made Spirit Tone Generator
delivers the sounds of the ‘80s/’90s arena rock era. All facets of this genre, from classic British leads to
smokin’ brown sounds, are on the menu and served up with glorious analog authenticity and the icon tones produced by the classic amps of those days.

The Gain, Tone, Master and Sagging controls provide all the tools you need to quickly and easily dial in sounds to delight novices and professionals alike. Shoehorned into a handy ultra-compact format, every Spirit Nano is a pocket-sized amp that sounds huge. Delivering up to 50 watts at 4 ohms, it packs a punch powerful enough for a 4x12" cab! With a RedBox integrated into the Headphones Out circuit, it’s perfect for practicing without a speaker and, with the proper interface, also a great recording tool. And your favorite software speaker simulations are
going to love the pure signal provided by its Line Out.
