The Tone King Gremlin is a hand-wired, boutique 5-watt all-tube guitar combo that delivers the spirit and nuance of cranked vintage American blackface and tweed amplifiers at manageable volume levels thanks to its onboard Ironman II power attenuator. From bell-like clean headroom to richly textured overdrive, the Gremlin’s simple two-input layout lets players access classic tones with ease while its compact Baltic Birch cabinet and custom-voiced 12″ Celestion speaker provide surprising presence and dynamic response for home, studio, or performance use. Whether you’re using pedals or digging into the amp’s natural character, the Gremlin embodies that sought-after, vintage vibe with modern build quality — all in a sleek Turquoise finish.

Tube combo amplifier for electric guitar with 5 watts of output power; Baltic Birch cab with Black and cream finish and custom-voiced 12″ Celestion 870 speaker; Hand-wired all-tube design with two inputs (Rhythm and Lead) voiced for blackface and tweed tones; Controls include Volume, Tone, and Attenuation; Built-in Ironman II reactive power attenuator for tone-preserving low-volume playing; Preamp tubes: 2× 12AX7; Power tube: 1× KT66; Single channel with 2 inputs and 1× 1/4″ line out; 8 Ω speaker impedance and fixed impedance input; Dimensions approx. 10″ (L) × 19″ (W) × 17″ (H); Weight ~29 lb. 

There’s nothing quite like the sounds of a cranked-up blackface or tweed-era guitar amplifier; but, getting those tones at the reduced volume levels modern players often encounter has been increasingly difficult. Until now. Introducing the Tone King Gremlin 1x12” 5-watt all-tube combo.

Whether you’re picking at home or keeping up with a drummer, the Gremlin dishes out enough vintage-vibe to inspire. The amp’s two inputs and simple control layout make finding your tone an intuitive process. Plug into the Rhythm channel for a more blackface tone with bell-like highs and increased headroom. Or maybe the Lead input’s tweed-style drive is more your flavor. Thanks to our very own Ironman II power attenuator, on the back, you’re able to enjoy all of the juicy goodness of maxed power tubes at a level that won’t wake the neighbors. If you're drawn to the American-side of cranked vintage amps, your tone is in the Gremlin.
