Zwengel Banshee 50 Boutique Amp

Looking for a nice boutique amp that’s fairly affordable as well?  The Zwengel Banshee 50 boutique amp is a 50 watt amp that is capable of providing great tone.  The Zwengel Banshee 50 is a two channel amp.  You’ll find both a vintage and a modern channel, both of which are provide powerful tones that are quite clear.  These amps are hand wired, but they were produced in a very limited quantity, so it can be hard to find one.

One of the unique parts of the Zwengel Banshee 50 is the Zwengel transformers.  The company worked on developing these transformers for almost a year so that they would create a smooth top end but still have a huge bottom.  This means the Zwengel Banshee 50 will continue to keep its dynamic character no matter how hard you drive it.  The metal and over-rated carbon film resistors are made out of highly selected materials, as well.  Just about everything in the Zwengel Banshee has been handmade, hand selected, and hand built to provide the ultimate in power.

The Zwengel Banshee 50 boutique amp is very simple to use.  Each of the two channels has its own level and gain controls.  The two do share the EQ controls, which include bass, treble, middle, and presence.  There’s also a variable damping control to help you refine your amp’s response.

The price tag for all of this?  When Zwengel released this amp back in 2003, it was $1999.  Today, you can find one for around $1200 used, if you can find one.
