Pocket Amp

Project Summary

The goal of the Pocket Amp project was to create a portable, battery powered, guitar amplifier utilizing both analog and digital effects to give musicians the ability to play wherever inspiration strikes them. The Pocket Amp design removes the speaker from many portable amplifier designs, which greatly reduces our power and size requirements allowing artists even more mobility while also allowing the artist to avoid annoying other people in the same space.
