Electro-Harmonix has unveiled its new 15Watt Howitzer preamp pedal and pedal amp.
Billed by EHX head honcho Mike Matthews as the perfect "compact guitar rig or backup," the 15Watt Howitzer boasts Volume, Gain, Bass, Mid, and Treble controls plus a Bright switch – which allows users to select between "a subtle top boost with more presence or a slightly darker top end" – and a built-in effects loop.
The pedalboard-mountable unit is compact enough to fit into just about any gig bag, and will work with any speaker cabinet rated at 8 or 16 ohms.
Of the pedal, Matthews says that "It’s super versatile and – depending on what kind of setup you’re running – fits into any style that’s your bag."
The Electro-Harmonix 15Watt Howitzer preamp pedal is available now – with a 4VDC/1.0A power supply included – for $127.80.
