Description
The Silktone Micronaut isn't your typical miniature amp head - this deceptively powerful device can serve as an excellent tool for dialing in clean and gritty tones, a DI for recording incredibly authentic-sounding guitars, and much more. If you've been searching for a premium amp with a small footprint that can be tailored to fit nearly any musical setting, the Micronaut is a perfect fit.
When used as a standalone amplifier, the Micronaut has a surprisingly wide range of sounds on tap, given its simple and intuitive interface. The Tone control serves as a tilt EQ, and it sweeps from warm, dark, and rich to bright and spanky when cranked. It also features a Mode switch that changes its character completely. In Mode I, the Micronaut has a pretty and sweet sound with enough headroom to run a full pedalboard. Mode II has a dirtier sound with less headroom, allowing users to experiment with everything from subtle overdrive to wild, blown-out fuzz.
The Micronaut also features a line out that works with an isolated reactive load, giving it the same EQ peaks and dips no matter what it's plugged into. That means whether you're recording direct into an interface or running the Micronaut into another amp, it'll have the same character. The line out also has its own dedicated level knob for further control.
In terms of quality, Silktone spared no expense when designing the Micronaut. Featuring hand-wound paper layer transformers, film & foil capacitors, and heavy-gauge solid core wiring, this amp received the same attention to detail as Silktone's most expensive units.
The Micronaut nails every role it's put into, whether it's used for recording, as a tool to push an amp into fuzz territory, or as a go-to amplifier. Check it out today if you've been in the market for an extremely versatile boutique amp head that'll change the way you play.
