Nutcracker

Crack some nuts with the world's heaviest high-gain amp. A relentless force of pure aggression, Nutcracker is built for guitarists who crave the heaviest tones on the planet, letting you chug on those low F sharps whilst pulling endless stink-faces.

Gain Intelligence delivers distortion that's both dynamic and powerful, no matter how far you push it. As you increase the gain, Gain Intelligence automatically tightens, enhances pick attack and keeps your riffs bold and focused, ensuring they always take center stage.

Our brand-new five-band tone stack with auto-leveling helps you get the perfect tone faster than ever before. And with powerful pre and post effects that feature spill-over, dual EQ for flexible tone-shaping, and speaker-chains dialled in for the ultimate in high-gain savagery.
