Smokey amp

[The Fender Bender]

Hi Everybody,
You will probably have a laugh at me for this one but I have just purchased a Smokey Amp (not in a cigarette box) so I can play guitar around the campfire without lugging a big amp around with me, what a great little device by itself but I plugged it in to my W.G.S. Vet 20 speaker cab at home and the little bugger really wails, top value for $32 Aus. :AOK

I bought several years ago. I modded somewhat to reduce the fart sound. They are pretty cool for what they are. Have fun with it.

Hi Stingx, Thanks for reply mate, they are pretty cool for for a bit of fun especially running through an ext cab.
It never ceases to amaze me how certain amps & speaker combinations can sound so totally different with each type of guitar & pickup combination,
my Fender with Kinman pickups sounds strange with the Smokey, my other guitar with Seymour Duncan Blackouts works well,
but with my little 5w valve amp combo the Kinmans sound awesome & the blackouts are crap.
Cheers.

I did a little demo of one of those device some years ago. I like it as a pre-amp boost

This is similar to the Smokey, if not and out-and-out copy.
