Finding your dream amp is beyond tough these days. With so many iconic sounds already committed to tape- and a wide selection of boutique brands recreating those sounds with mile-long spec sheets- option paralysis can develop quickly. Silktone makes your decision easy!
The simple yet effective palette of controls encourages the exploratory nature of musicians without requiring an engineering degree, and the breadth and quality of the sounds is staggering. You're hard pressed to find a bad tone, and whether you're a jazzer, a blueser, or a shoegazer, you'll find yourself locked in on an inspiring setting that you love in no time. The 1/2W setting in "Raw Silk" mode is a particular favorite here at the shop. It works the amp hard at a perfect listening level with a dynamic, blown out fuzz that to us is very reminiscent of Neil Young's finest moments with his Deluxe. 12W mode is the more pedal friendly and tweakable of the two, but from home to rehearsal to the stage- the Silktone is tough one to beat.
