Max GIGKit - 10W Rechargeable Portable Guitar Amplifier
Discover true musical freedom with the Max GIGKit , an electric guitar amplifier designed for musicians who want no constraints. This ultra-compact device redefines portability, allowing you to take your sound anywhere, from your living room to a park, the beach, or your dressing room before going on stage. Forget about searching for power outlets or carrying heavy equipment; its lightweight and ergonomic design is made to go wherever you go.
Despite its compact size, the GIGKit delivers a surprisingly powerful 10W of sound, offering a clear and defined tone, ideal for personal practice and impromptu acoustic sessions. Its modern black and silver finish is not only robust but also complements any guitarist's style. Thanks to its efficient engineering, it provides a perfect balance between volume and battery life, making it an essential tool for both beginners who need to practice daily and professionals looking for a reliable travel amplifier.
Main features
The Max GIGKit stands out for a series of technical features that elevate it above other mini-amplifiers on the market:
-
True wireless freedom: Equipped with a 3.7V rechargeable lithium battery (18650 type), it offers up to 5 hours of continuous playback . This eliminates the constant expense of disposable batteries and ensures your amplifier is always ready to play with a simple recharge.
-
Total tone control: Don't sacrifice nuance for size. The front panel includes dedicated rotary controls for Volume and Tone , allowing you to sculpt sounds from warm and dark to bright and cutting highs.
-
Dual sound character: Thanks to its built-in Overdrive (Distortion) switch, you can instantly go from a clean and crystalline sound to a powerful rock distortion, perfect for solos or more aggressive riffs without the need for extra pedals.
-
Versatile connectivity: It features a standard 6.3mm jack input for your guitar and a 3.5mm headphone output. When headphones are connected, the speaker automatically mutes, allowing for nighttime practice or use in environments where silence is required.
-
Extreme portability: Weighing only 0.41 kg, it includes a back clip for attaching it to a belt and a shoulder strap, making it easy to play standing up or on the move with total comfort.
Benefits for the musician
This amplifier solves one of the biggest problems for the modern guitarist: lack of space and time. With the GIGKit, any downtime becomes a productive session. Its USB recharging capability (via the internal battery) makes it much more environmentally friendly and economical in the long run than amplifiers that rely on 9V batteries. Furthermore, its dynamic response to pick attack allows you to maintain the expressiveness of your playing, something uncommon in amplifiers of this compact size.
Use cases
The versatility of the Max GIGKit makes it ideal for multiple scenarios:
-
Busking: Perfect for performances in pedestrian areas where the volume needs to be controlled but audible.
-
Warm-up (Backstage): Ideal for warming up your fingers before a concert without disturbing the rest of the band or technicians.
-
Travel and holidays: It fits in any backpack or carry-on suitcase, ensuring you never stop practicing while on the go.
-
Silent home practice: Use it in your bedroom late at night with headphones so as not to wake up family or neighbors.
