Halfpint
18W British Rock Amplifier
Got a question about this product? Ask us!
The SonicTone Halfpint amplifier is truly a mutt of an amplifier. It's very much the little brother of the Royal Crown and the '81 Special. Packing the best parts of those amps into a small, compact design, the Halfpint has a towering tone for such a diminutive amp.
Due to the chosen design of this amplifier, it delivers a rich harmonic overdrive, as well as a beautiful, chime-y clean. It's an amp that's lightweight and great for the gigging musician on the go. While it's a simple amp that's light on features, the Halfpint proves that big things do come in small packages.
Recommended Speaker Pairing: Celestion 25-watt Greenback or 65-watt Creamback for accentuated overdrive; or a 60-watt Vintage 30 for a well-rounded sound.
Available as a head or 1x12 combo.

June 12, 2024Halfpint head and 1x12 cab
Probably the best amp I've ever owned! The SonicTone Halfpint can do everything I ask it to and then some. Great sparkling cleans, excellent range of distortion and plenty of power when I need it. It's a very versatile amp that also works well with any pedal I've thrown at it, both in front and in the FX loop. Not that you need any because all the tones are there. Sounds great at lower volumes and especially good cranked. I pair this with a SonicTone 1x12 cab with the Celestion Creamback and couldn't be happier. Do yourself a favor and get one!
