Warmenfat Micro Amp
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the finest little
micro amplifier ever made. The Warmenfat Micro Amp is not just a
guitar amplifier; it is a tone building block that can be used in many
ways including:
o Lead Guitar Amplifier
o Bass Guitar Amplifier
o Direct Box
o Effect Box (to warm up sound)
o Microphone Preamplifier
o Signal conditioner
Superior tone is accomplished by combining a sophisticated design
with the highest quality components normally found only in the
finest high end hi fi, aerospace and industrial process equipment.
Your Warmenfat Micro Amp has been engineered to give many
years of daily use before tube replacement is needed.
We can not stress the importance of experimentation! Many “experts”
will tell you the correct way to do something. Music should be fun and
therefore we encourage you to do it THIS way instead!
The Warmenfat Micro Amp will open your world to many wonderful
warm and fat tonal experiences!
---It is my personal belief that quality tone will lead the musician to better
creativity and will actually enhance his/her musical abilities! –
