The Himmelstrutz GNOME is a compact, fully analogue guitar amplifier designed and assembled in Sweden. It features a discrete Class A preamp, a serial effects loop and a MOSFET power amplifier delivering up to 50 watts into a 4 Ω speaker.
Small enough to fit on a pedalboard yet powerful enough for serious playing situations, GNOME delivers 30 watts into 8 Ω or up to 50 watts into 4 Ω. No digital modelling. No impulse responses. No apps. Just pure analogue amplification with Bass, Mid, Treble and Volume controls in a classic pedal-sized enclosure.
