Created with Stu Mackenzie of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, the Tiny Amp Destroyer is our original three-footswitch gain machine, combining two independent drive stages with a standalone treble booster. It moves from focused low-gain drive to raw, boxy distortion and dense, blown-out saturation.

It began with Stu pushing two Boomsters into his favourite pawn-shop amp until it stopped behaving as intended and started sounding enormous. We did not simply clone that setup. We captured its unstable breakup and unruly response, then used them as the foundation for a completely fresh circuit.

Active Bass and Treble controls, MAGIC and Notch give you the freedom to shape that instability, from controlled and articulate to hollow, explosive and unhinged.

The original artwork was created by Jason Galea, King Gizzard’s longtime visual collaborator and the artist behind much of the band’s album artwork, posters, stage imagery and iconic visual universe.
