Whether you’re looking for a pedalboard amp, an amp head, or a powered 2-channel DI, the new Bud Head is for you. The Bud amplifier has become the go-to amp when it comes to quality tone, power and versatility, offering truly gig-able utility in the smallest possible package. Now you can pack all of that in your gig bag with the new Bud Head! It has the same 2-channel pre-amp as The Bud, the same power, but does not require a speaker to be attached so you can go straight to the house system, powered monitor or recording interface, or use it to power a speaker cabinet of your choice.
