Product Description

Designed and prototyped in a one car garage in Austin, Texas, by none other than amp savant, Pyotr Belov, the Handsome Devil evokes classic tube tones more than reminiscent of the great American and British, plug and play workhorses that laid the foundation for Rock and Roll guitar tone starting in the '60s.

Just like its predecessor and little brother, the Little Giant 5, the BHE Handsome Devil is overbuilt to last with features and components you'd expect on a hand built, much more expensive piece of gear. Both the head and combo feature dual power modes allowing the Gods of Rock to dial in responsiveness and headroom in either 15W or 7W output. Separate Master and Level controls put both awesome power and responsibility in the unwashed hands of mankind. 3 Bands of well-tuned EQ make for nearly infinite voicing.

From big fat overdrive to plucky, just-about-to-squeal if you hit me a little harder grease, the Handsome Devil covers classic tube tone with as few knob turns as possible through a well thought out set of features in a tough as a tank package.

As expected, you get the simple elegance and robust component specs that mark BHE's designs. From 1W, carbon-film resistors in the signal path to beefy, double sided pcb with 2 oz traces, 16 gauge, precision folded and welded chassis and mutli-ply, classically joined cabinetry, Blackheart is as serious about quality as they are about tone.

Available in a surprisingly compact head or single (but looking) 12-inch combo (BH15-112) featuring the specially designed 1216B Eminence speaker developed by Blackheart Engineering and Eminence Speakers. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Blackheart products.

"Fantastic little amp!"
Sound: Great blues, rock tone. Has plenty of volume. Use pentode side with a metal muff for good metal sound. Feature: Wish it had an effects loop and reverb but it works without it fine. Ease of Use: There is nothing about it that is hard to understand. Easy to understand complete manual. Quality: Very well made. Tolex and piping is tight. The unit has some weight to it as to not feel cheap yet is easy to carry. Value: It's a great amp for the money. Remember that it's not a Mesa or a Marshall but they don't claim it to be. It's just a great warm tube amp for the studio or garage or small room. Give it a try, you won't be sorry Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed anthing yet.
Style of Music: metal,rock,blues

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "HANDSOME DEVIL THAT IS THE ONE FOR ME!"
Sound: if you want a rock and roll sound. then this is the amp to get. good blues sound. good for all rock like all of the 60 and 70s jam. it kicks as-- for the hendrix and srv and ac-dc and all of the good guitar players. it is bad. dont for get to buy the BH112 speaker cabinet you got to have the cabinet to get the amazing sound from the amp. Feature: you get all you need!!! Ease of Use: turn it up and jam. Quality: the best amp out there. i have a lot of amps. tube amps and solid state amps. but for the money you can not beat this one no way. and it is made in the U.S.A. and buy it from here. YOU CAN NOT BEAT ZZOUNDS!!!!!h Value: this is a deal for around $500.00 for this amp and speaker cabinet this is a steal. Manufacturer Support: i bet it is a 10 + hope i never have to used it... The Wow Factor: if you are going to play the guitar then you got to get this. Overall: no more amps for me. this is the one.
