1. maven peal
Don't just nail vintage tone... CONTROL it. Maven Peal's patented Sag and Wattage control knobs give you the power to dial-in traditionally ear-blistering tone at volumes as low as one watt, up to 100 (depending on your model).
If you're researching guitar amps, you know there are literally hundreds to choose from. Many allow you to lower the wattage, but no other allows you to control power supply sag. Maven Peal's Sag knob gives you a virtual range of recitifiers to select, from 0% to 25% sag. All other amplifiers give you one sag setting (except of course, dual and triple rectifiers which give you two or three).
You can actually adjust headroom. You can adjust how much your strings "bloom" or "attack." You can a/b two different power tube flavors with the flip of a switch. You can bag your power conditioner. You can record without noise gates. You can "blast" without blasting. And you can do a whole lot more that you can't do with any other guitar amplifier ...

Welcome to the homepage of Zachary Vex Effects, Where you will find information about using
Zachary Vex's strange, hand made devices. Bravo! You are the owner of the world's smallest production tube amp, the Nano Head by Z.Vex Amps. This little marvel is a one-half watt (distorted) powerhouse that will surprise you with its apparent volume. Plug it into a 4X12 (or any 8 to 16 ohm speaker) and listen to it roar! This amp is voiced to deliver classic rock tone, with a very high level of crunch available if it's wanted. Just crank the volume knob around to the level of distortion you desire, from a very quiet (one tenth watt) clean mode to a micro-Marshall (TM) blast when cranked up. I am making myself a little ill (gag!) trying to describe the tone of my Nano, using the same tired old phrases that all the amp and distortion box makers use, but I think it's true... it does a great job of emulating big amps at very reasonable volumes, which makes it exceptionally nice for recording.
In a recording situation, you stick microphones in front of guitar amps and hope for the best, but often the sheer sound pressure level necessary to get what sounds like a really cool tone is so ungodly high that it causes mic distortion that wrecks the sound. You might try putting a nice Coles ribbon or a Beyer M160 in front of the amp, but at 140 dB it could easily cause weird sounds as the ribbon rattles around in the magnetic field, stretching and possibly striking the magnet as it goes past the boundaries of its gap. A classic condenser microphone under that kind of crushing pressure can end up with a stretched diaphragm that can touch from front to back, suddenly shutting down, or overloaded preamp circuitry, adding unwanted harshness. Even a dynamic mic like a Shure 57 or 58 can have problems as the severe magnetic field developed by high-wattage amps couples through the air into the mic's own windings, causing a blistering crispiness that seems very unnatural when it shows up in your recording. You can spend hours trying to find a safe spot to put your mics when trying to accurately capture the sound of a roaring high-wattage amp, and in the end, find that the best sound is miced so far from the cab that you begin to hear the room and everything else that's bleeding in. By the time you've got a sound you like, someone has called the cops and you have to shut down for the night ...
