The Acorn Amplifiers Mind Killer is a dual distortion device that promises to deliver huge gain tones to any rig. It features two separately stomp-able distortion circuits in series, each with its own bass boost and clipper diode toggle switches. This allows for a wide range of tonal possibilities and a mélange of stackable crunch tones in a single stompbox.

The Mind Killer is designed to provide total obliteration in the form of huge gain tones, making it suitable for a variety of musical styles and genres. Its dual-channel design allows for independent control over each distortion circuit, giving players the flexibility to create a wide range of tones and textures.

The Kakarot Fuzz is a hybrid fuzz circuit featuring one germainium transistor feeding into one silicon transistor which is then sent through a pair of LEDs for boosted clipping. The Kakarot dual transistor circuit can sweep between overdrive, distortion, and fuzz tones with the turn of the Fuzz knob. The Level control adds flexibility to the overall output of the pedal, enabling you to dial in the perfect position of your signal in the mix. Top-mount Switchcraft jacks, robust latching footswitch, and durable 125B aluminum enclosure make the Kakarot fuzz ready to take your pedalboard power level over 9000!

Kakarot Fuzz

In a 2021 interview, a relatively overlooked low-wattage practice amp was revealed to be a studio secret weapon for achieving wiry and aggressive tones for guitar, bass, and even drums and vocals. The latest innovation from Acorn Amplifiers, the Solid State, is a full circuit recreation of that now-mythic amp packed into a pedal enclosure and loaded with features.  This is not just a preamp in a pedal box. The Acorn Amps Solid State incorporates the TDA series class-AB power amp device that was utilized in the original amp design, giving you the most authentic reproduction available in a modern pedal format. From spanky, bright cleans to ultra-gain breakup, the Acorn Solid State is a complete guitar amp that fits on your pedalboard in a standard 1590BB enclosure. Two separate output jacks allow the Solid State to be used as either a preamp in your pedal chain or as a standalone 10 watt amplifier plugged directly to a speaker cab; they can even be used together at the same time. Additionally, a toggle switch lets you select between sending the signal out before or after the power amp circuit for maximum tonal versatility.
