Diago Little Smasher

Compact Guitar Amplifier Head

The Diago Little Smasher is an amazingly lively and dynamic 5-Watt guitar amp head squeezed into a pedal-sized enclosure. It's ideal for small gigs, studio and home use, with more than enough volume to annoy the neighbours.

The Diago Little Smasher combines the responsive tone and immediate simplicity of the most sought after amps; with the compact size, reliability and volume control needed by today's discerning guitar player.

A fully fledged amp head, its four analogue modelled cascading gain stages adjusted by Gain and Volume controls give a range of tones from chimey clean to plexi-esque rock crunch, and it's designed to work especially well with pedals up front if you need to push it further or want multiple channels. It also has active Bass and Treble controls with a massive 15dB boost and 30dB cut available on each.

5-Watts doesn't sound like a lot, but it's surprisingly loud and can drive a wide range of cabinets; anything up to a 4x12 which it does with ease - and sounds great with plenty of grunt.

Its rich, harmonically complex tone and road worthy reliability comes by combining the very best design, components and construction methods.

Tired of lugging heavy heads, and combos around, now all you need to take with you is a guitar, pedal board and cab. Why has no-one thought of this before?

Tech Spec

Q) Can I use the Little Smasher as a pre-amp, and connect the Speaker Out to an effects pedal, amp or desk or soundcard?

A) NO. Pedal and amp inputs will only accept low-current instrument/line level signals. The Speaker Out on the Little Smasher, like any amp head, is a high-powered signal designed to drive a passive (unpowered) speaker cabinet. Connecting this to a pedal or amp will damage your gear.
