Milkman The Amp - this thing just got my attention

nickb_boy

So after scrolling through my Instagram feed this white large pedal like box caught my eye.  It had a hint of Moog styling and some footswitches to operate reverb and tremolo so I thought it was just going to be another over priced pedal.  I then read more in to it and found out this box is in fact more than just a preamp pedal, it can be an actual amp with s valve preamp section.  It seems to tick a lot of boxes and would make a great home set up plugged in to headphones, stick it in to a cab and gig with it, DI out or just run it as an expensive pedal.  

The real worrying thing is the short 30 second clip actually seemed pretty decent.  I'm hoping that it was just down to the fancy studio recording and playing that made it seem any good.  Also fingers crossed it has rubbish driven/break up tones and is priced way way out of my league so I won't be tempted any further!



Despite trying to put myself off the idea of it I'm keen to see further info and clips of it.  I'm bracing myself for what the hefty price tag is going to be!

Just thought I'd put it out there and see what you guys thought.

Caught my attention too, will retail in the states at $799, not sure how much it'll be by the time it comes over here, definitely on my radar though

Reminds me of our own Dennis Cornell's Pedal Amp.

Creams over the competition.

Saw this too and like it, would be useful as the second amp in a basic wet/dry set up.

Indeed - looks like a pint-sized wonder....

I like the fact they used a Speakon socket for the speaker out so you can't accidentally plug that output into a pedal or PA

Just about every amp maker in the world should make a note of that

Yes, but it takes a while, unless you live in the West.

But everyone knows you can’t fit a quart into a pint-sized box...

Good price, reverb and trem, wonder how well it takes pedals.

I'd be more worried about what it's going to do to all your wives

Stick this coupled with the new Helix FX might be very interesting as a fly rig.

I have no need for it luckily but this looks proper ace the more clips I hear of it.

Hell no
i have enough cable types to remember to pack as it is!
(plus it’s a combi socket so it’s a moot point)
