    BROKEN AMP SIMULATORS ARE SOLD OUT There are currently no plans to make more but that may change in the future WE'RE BACK ... with 12 more units! We've added "polarity protection" diodes, shielded cable from input to output and finally a high quality GORVA soft clicking footswitch. Visit our INSTAGRAM page for demo videos DID YOU KNOW? The first distorted guitar tones ever commited to a recorded medium were caused by broken amplifiers. It’s kind of a thing now. PRO TIPS: MAL and FUNCTION are extremely interdependent. Crank them up, then dial backwards for different sonic textures from clean gain to sub octave fuzz. Use the Tone control for a brighter distortion or a muddy synth style. Unsure where to start? Turn every knob all the way to the right like the pros! Use a quality PSU or a 9v battery for best results ... FROM PREVIOUS RUN: "If it ain't broke ... buy a BROKEN AMP SIMULATOR" Ever since the tune "Rocket 88" hit the airwaves, guitar players have looked for ways to capitalize on their malfunctioning equipment. Overdrive, distortion, fuzz, sub octave - all of these sounds came from equipment that was behaving, well... poorly! Nowadays, the sound of distortion is as common as a cold, but we don't necessarily want our expensive and otherwise reliable equipment to catch it. That's where Captain Jake's Broken Amp Simulator comes in - a bona fide speaker rippin', tube slippin contortioner of distortion. The B.A.S. features five knobs to tweak the sounds of old-school boosts, 60's fuzzes, high gain distortion and noisy sub-octave bit crushing sounds. Only a few left out of the current run of 49 units!
