Little Chopper
The Little Chopper is an amp whose diminutive stature belies its vast wealth of exquisite sounds.
Based around an ECC81 and ECC83 in the preamp and EL84 power amp, the tones range from ultimate ‘American’ cleans, through classic British chime and grunt, all the way out the other side to Crazy-Horse style scuzz.
Controls on the front panel are Gain, Bass, Middle, Top, Stack, Power
