The Pignose 7-100 isn't just an amplifier; it’s a piece of rock-and-roll history. First introduced in the early 1970s, this "legendary little powerhouse" remains the ultimate choice for guitarists who need raw, gritty tone in a package that can go anywhere. Whether you’re backstage, in a hotel room, or on a street corner, the Pignose delivers a unique, funky distortion that has been featured on countless hit records.

​Key Features

• ​Iconic Tone: Known for its warm, tube-like breakup, the 7-100 offers a range of sounds from clean-ish blues to thick, fuzzy overdrive.
• ​The "Pig Nose" Control: Simplicity at its finest. The single volume knob (shaped like a pig's snout) controls power, volume, and gain levels.
• ​Total Portability: Runs on 6 AA batteries or an optional AC adapter, making it the perfect travel companion.
• ​Rugged Design: Wrapped in tough, vintage-style brown pigskin grain vinyl with metal corner protectors.
• ​Unique Sound Tweaking: The hinged design allows you to open the case to vary the sound—keep it closed for a tight, punchy tone, or swing it open for a more airy, "open-back" resonance.

Why Every Guitarist Needs One

​The Pignose 7-100 is more than a practice amp; it’s a creative tool. By using the Preamp Out jack, you can plug the Pignose into a larger stage amp or a recording console to capture its signature "squashed" distortion—a trick used by legends like Eric Clapton and Joe Walsh. It's built like a tank, looks timeless, and provides a tactile playing experience that digital modeling simply can't replicate.
