The SonicTone Halfpint amplifier is truly a mutt of an amplifier. It's very much the little brother of the Royal Crown RC30 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.
