Blackheart Killer Ant Half Stack delivers the follow up to Little Giant 5. Blackheart Killer Ant Half Stack is the first attainable, boutique quality fractional tube amp. Killer Ant Half Stack features Class A, Single Ended circuitry and delivers the complete, classic, touch responsive tube tone you need but at more manageable volumes for apartment dwellers and recording sessions.
Designed on a beer stained cocktail napkin, prototyped, built and tested in a one car garage in Austin, TX, and engineered to the same strict standards as the Little Giant 5, this "little head" delivers the tones, the smells and the attitude you want when sonic bliss is everything and volume needs to be kept at bay. The Killer Ant embraces 100% classic all tube circuitry but, instead of a high power tube output section, it boasts a clever, all tube power block pumping out a mere fraction of 1W. What you get is arena rock tone at bedroom levels. No more angry neighbours, whining wives or girlfriends (or both...just sayin').
Like its big bro, the Blackheart Killer Ant Hallf Stack features completely overbuilt component specs, from 1W resistors in the signal path to double sided PCB with 2 oz traces. Even its diminutive cabinet, just over palm sized, is built to take a beating with 15 ply (18mm) void-free wood covered expertly in durable black tolex. Final touches include distinctive white piping accents and a salt & pepper cloth covered front baffle. 4, 8 and 16-ohm extension speaker jacks allow you to hook the Ant into virtually any cab you like, including a 4 X 12. However, its counterpart, the Killer Cab, is designed to be its perfect soul mate.
Blackheart BH110 Killer Cab is crafted from the same 15 ply (18mm) void-free plywood as the entire Blackheart Engineering amp range, features expertly applied, durable black tolex and of course boasts the tatto-ish charm of the BHE logo.
