We’ve listened carefully to our customers who have asked us to develop a scaled-down all-tube amp that retains the ESH signature sound quality and versatility. Following three years of development, we would like to introduce the a brand new amp, the second member of our RAPTOR family – the MICRO RAPTOR.

This amp retains the basic sound principles and design philosophy of its big brother – our acclaimed RAPTOR III flagship, sharing the very best features from it in a more portable form factor with enhanced power scaling, versatility and simplicity of use. We also added some important new features to better suit the needs of guitarists playing smaller venues; further, to accommodate the desires of many players looking for a dynamic semi-clean type of sound at lower volumes, we carefully reworked the CLEAN channel to allow quicker breakup than ever before.

But don’t worry – when designing this new amp, we didn’t change the main qualities that made all our amps so desirable, such as industry-leading build quality and the paramount characteristic of any tube amp – its sonic performance. And the best of all? Everything is now built in much smaller, more convenient package.

There are many small guitar tube amps on the market right now. We believe that none of them offer the sound, features and flexibility of the MICRO RAPTOR. So, if you are hunting for an innovative, high-spec all-tube amp in an effortlessly-manageable size – easily fitting atop a 1×12″ speaker enclosure – look no further.

All channels then immensely benefit from the roundness and musicality of the midrange-heavy 6V6-equipped power section, further underlined by the circuitry’s special design, which ensures that the amp never suffers from harsh highs. Although this amp was initially designed for smaller clubs, in reality it is powerful enough to be easily used in much larger venues simply by matching it with the appropriate speaker enclosure(s). Our recommended choice for smaller setups would be one or two of our 1×12″s (model GX112-60 or GX112-200EV). However, when playing larger venues, combine four of these enclosures for maximum portability or use any of our multi-speaker enclosures. Additionally, the POWER AMP TONE and OUTPUT controls, which let you shape the amp’s bottom end together with the ability to adjust the output power to the appropriate level, allow players to set up the amp to work in any room, even those with particular sonic deficiencies or characteristics, without sacrificing control.

With this amp, you get the sound and features that even most of the big amps on the today’s market are sorely lacking – and all this in a small, convenient unit.
