The immense wall of sound that is coming out of the little ZOMBIE is unbelievable. This is the type of sound that we know from the huge 150 Watt tube heads, but you would never expect a small and portable amplifier to sound so huge and aggressive. Your chords will chug and punch. Your solos will cut through the mix. The ZOMBIE also works great at lesser gain settings and lets you use your favorite overdrives to push it into higher gain with their own unique flavors. Once you start working with this amp, you will soon forget its size and very affordable price. It will feel as if you are playing through a much bigger head and your friends just won’t believe where your sound is really coming from. The amp operates with a single 12AX7 tube in the preamp and uses a solid state power amp. The FX loop enables you to put your time based effects (or Phasers, Flangers and Choruses) behind the drive section and keep the effects sharp and not prevent them from being too muddy. Because of the High Gain structure of this amp, a noise gate, like our “Gate of Kahn“ is a good idea to make your heavy chords nice and tight. The amp also has a CLEAN channel that can take pedals really well, which makes it flexible and a great little companion for many situations where your „big“ head is just not sensible. The amp has a speaker out rated at 8?. Careful, the amp is small, but loud… its 20 Watts can be quite a handful. If you want to practice quietly, use the built in headphone out with speaker emulation. The icing on the cake is the BLUETOOTH connectivity. Easily connect with your BLUETOOTH enabled device and play music through the BantamP. This is great to practice with PlayAlongs or to learn songs. The BantamP series amps consist of very small amps that are tuned to fit a specific sound. The ZOMBIE goes for a thick American metal sound. This amp sounds very nice clean and takes pedals extremely well. When the high gain drive channel is engaged you can further push it with pedals to alter the frequency response. The FX loop allows you to use your effects post distortion so they sound nice and defined. The amp also has BLUETOOTH and you can easily run your music or play-alongs through it. The headphone out has a speaker simulation so that you can practice at home without disturbing anyone. The amp has a tube in the pre-amp section. The power amp is solid state.
