King Cobra Amp—Small Boy Great Joy!

The Great Little King Cobra Amp

Small, evil, patient, suddenly alive—it strikes when you do. Same power and feel as a real valve amp, without the glass, heat or weight. Touch the strings and it breathes. Stop—and the snake waits, coiled and ready. It follows you—the Master!

HIGH Voltage, Real Feel

Magic piano bloom

That singing piano bloom when a note opens up is important — and it’s here. King Cobra runs the same voltage swing as classic valve amplifiers, evolved for what comes next.

Neither Head nor Combo

KING COBRA—Neither Head nor Combo

Compact, strong, and ready for any cab or pedal setup. Reverb or echo in front or loop—both work, just different attitude.

Four Knobs, Two Switches

The King Cobra Control Panel

Gain, Lo, Hi, Vol set the voice and power; Pres. tames/adds top shimmer; Core shifts the power feel—20/50/100 W, triode↔pentode.

The Voice—Clean To Mean

The World Voice

British bite, American depth—both and beyond. Clean tones shimmer, driven tones growl. Pedals blend right in—Himmelstrutz or not.

King Cobra Recording

King Cobra Amp
RECO

Use 1 or 2 microphones to record King Cobra through a cab or go direct through Himmelstrutz RECO. Same feel, same honesty, quiet neighbours.

We Love Valves, Time Moves

Valves are great—have been for ages. But time doesn’t stand still; it moves. King Cobra keeps the spirit—loses the fragility—evolution that finally makes sense.

Frank Zappa once made it clear

Any Downsides vs Valve Amps?

We searched high and low—nothing. Same punch. Same touch. No heat. No weight. No ageing glass to baby. Only upsides, babe.
