Topic: THE BIG PIG IS BACK

Everybody knows what a pignose is.Dont they.The cool little great sounding amp.Runs on 6 aa batteries.I have one. I also have the less celebrated Pignose 30/60. An american made amp that is a ball to play.Until it breaks.Mine did last year in the middle of a set.Luckily it was at my house and I had a backup.This sat for over a year broken.Had a good sales week and decided to get it fixed.65.00 later.It is a great sounding amp. Once I get that pignose DIRTY sound,it`s hard to play anything else.We call it the big pig to distinguish ti from the little pig.The battery operated one. How many others can appreciate a pignose amp. I love mine and am looking forward to putting it back in service.  Thanx for listening

Re: THE BIG PIG IS BACK

Your post got me curious so I 'Googled' Pignose to see that not only do they produce a range of amps (battery powered, rechargeable and mains) but I was surprised to also see a guitar with built in amp:

http://www.imuso.co.uk/images/Legacy/Product/~display360x200/EG00934.jpg The Pignose PGG-259 is a deluxe mini electric guitar, finished in black with gold hardware, silver pignose volume control, a 24 1/4" scale, 22 fret bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard with a Pignose amplifier and speaker built into the body. The 1 watt on board amplifier runs on a 9 volt battery. A 1/4" headphone jack allows the guitar to be plugged into a normal guitar amp.
