If you're anything like the Sweetwater guitarists who buck the backbreaking heads and cabs in favor of convenience without tonal compromise, the Hughes & Kettner StompMan guitar amplifier pedal is fully prepared to serve as the centerpiece of your rig. Though sized to fit easily on most pedalboards, the StompMan's tone is nothing short of massive, with up to 50 watts on tap to serve you well in both studio and stage situations. Familiar amp controls like Gain, Presence, Resonance, and Tone fine-tune your sound to perfection, with a Sagging control front and center to adjust compression and overtone levels to taste. When it's time to bust out that searing solo, a built-in boost in the form of a Solo footswitch adds up to 6dB of gain in an instant.
