Product Description

The new Pignose G40V is a technical marvel that puts out a screaming conservatively rated 40 watts RMS through its own specially designed 10 in. speaker.

A truly pro amplifier, this little (14 x 9 x 17 in.) powerhouse features 2 - 6L6s, and 3 - 12AX7 tubes, 4 and 8 ohm output jacks, controls for volume, master volume, treble, mid, bass, and presence.

It's perfect for the bedroom, but really shines when you "open it up." It is capable of powering a 4 x 12 in. cabinet!

Pignose commissioned the world-renouned tube amp engineer and designer Dennis Kager to perfect this little monster, and it has been Field tested in clubs for 6 months to great acclaim.

The G40V is built like the time tested tube amps of the 60's, but in a tiny package, like a stealth amp. They'll laugh when you walk in with it, but they'll become true believers when they hear it crank. Best of all, it has the classic Pignose look and solid reputation

The Pignose G40V is compact, pro quality, powerful, and affordable. The ultimate combination! zZounds is an authorized dealer of Pignose products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. Pignose G40V Amp Customer Review
Sound: This little amp kicks butt. I have owned fender, marshall, peavey and a mish mash of other amps over the years, but to be really honest, regardless of price, this is the best sounding amp I have ever owned. It has a really meaty, warm, and responsive clean sound, and when mildly overdriven it really sounds good as well. Although it sounds awesome at lower volumes, it really shows its ability when cranked up. This amp is fully capable when playing with a full band, don't let it's small size fool you !!! I find that when dialed in a mild overdrive, I can get a full, warm , crunchy, yet repsonsive distortion that will back down to a cleaner sound by playing a bit lighter or backing off the guitar volume a bit. By the way, I primarily play a SRV strat. Feature: Feature wise... this amp dosen't provide much, but who needs a bunch of crap when it sounds this good... Really , the only thing I would like to see is channel switching capability from clean to overdrive. That would make this amp PERFECT!!!! I hope someone at pignose is listening!!!! I consider it a huge drawback to dial in a clean sound and use some crappy pedal to get dirty with this amp, as it's dirty sound is sooooo perfect on it's own....I would gladly buy this amp again for twice the price if it had channel switching... PIGNOSE ARE YOU LISTENING???? Quality: The quality of this amp seems up to snuff. It seems really solid and well constructed. Only time well tell. In the future I plan to upgrade to some groove tubes cause who knows whatis in it. Value: This amp is a steal. buy one, provided you are not playing in stadiums, and I know none of you are. I would happily pay 2-3 more for another one if it had channel switching. That could make it my main amp Overall: Overall, this amp is a treasure, It sounds great, looks good, it SOUNDS GREAT, it has knobs, IT SOUNDS GREAT, it has a plug to plug it in, IT SOUNDS GREAT, it has a speaker, IT SOUNDS GREAT, it has an input jack, IT SOUNDS GREAT, You get my drift......I just wish it had channel switching.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful. "Price*Size*Weight*Power*SoundQuality = Best value ever!"
Sound: Compared to "big tube brothers", this sound quite average (be honest - it's shameful to compare this tiny guy with the hi-priced 100W+ 'famous-brand' gigantic monsters like Mesa or else, which you just can't crank at home or take with you in a road, or even can't afford), but long way better and louder than all brother-in-price-and-size. Very comfy to play with. Versatile beyond compare. Loud! Feature: Poor side of this amp. I've converted mine into foot switchable 2-channel' (it was quite simple because stock preamp allows to get as clean tones as heavy dirty ones only by Volume/Master knobs tweaking) and tone shifting to achieve some American/British tonal characteristics (foot switchable as well), and now it has all what it needs. No reverb -and it's just good for me (I hate artificial reverberation). I've marked it 8 for the stock features (after mod I'd ranked it 11 :) ) Ease of Use: Easy as child toy to work with. Works well with my Mahogany Fender Strat Quality: Simple made, but sturdy enough to survive a travels/gigs (and surprisingly light-weight to use it as "every-were-I-go" amp). Value: No words - just rank. Manufacturer Support: I wrote a letter to Pignose company and really got an answer in two days! Nice guys! The Wow Factor: Pretty for it's features and price beyond compare. Not shiny for the first look, but get more familiar with it - and it will shine indeed! Overall: And rank can be definitely 11+ with the features mentioned above.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
