At Himmelstrutz Elektro Art, our amplifiers are not about reinventing sound, but about evolving design. We hold onto the timeless tones and organic feel of valve amplifiers, while introducing new design philosophies that prioritise craftsmanship and reliability. The goal is to preserve that rich, natural sound you crave, but with a modern approach that improves performance and usability. We carefully design and handcraft each amplifier, blending classic warmth with cutting-edge engineering to deliver an authentic, dynamic experience without unnecessary complexity. Our amplifiers don’t just sound like the revered valve amps – they also have the feel! What we provide is a balance of tradition and progression, giving you the unmistakable valve tone in a form that proves big sound no longer needs big weight.

The GNOME – Compact, Loud, Analog
The Himmelstrutz GNOME is a slick, portable, fully analog guitar amplifier – designed and assembled in Sweden. It features a discrete Class A preamp with a serial effects loop, and a MOSFET power amp delivering up to 50 watts @ 4 Ω. This sweet little beast is LOUD. And it means business.
What makes GNOME unique? It’s so small it almost disappears – yet it’s a complete analog guitar amplifier. No digital controls. No IRs. No phone apps. It's 30 watts @ 8 Ω (50 watts @ 4 Ω) with Bass, Mid, Treble, and Volume controls, plus a serial effects loop – all in a classic MXR-sized pedal format…
| JACKS | |
| Input | Front: High-quality 6.3 mm TRS jack for connecting your instrument (guitar or bass). |
| Speaker (≥4 Ω) | Rear: High-quality 6.3 mm TRS jack for connecting speaker(s) with 4 Ω or higher impedance. Note 1: Lower impedance (such as 4 Ω) results in higher output power (approx. 50 W) compared to around 30 W with an 8 Ω speaker. Note 2: The GNOME won’t break if you forget to connect a speaker – it’ll just stay quiet. |
| FX Loop | Rear: High-quality 6.3 mm TRS jack – serial effects loop output to connect your favourite effects (input). Works especially well with time-based effects. |
| 24 V DC | Rear: Connect the included dedicated 24 V DC / 2.5 A power supply unit (PSU) to this DC barrel jack. |
