The Himmelstrutz Amp Philosophy
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.

WHAT’S A SPACE GNOME AMP?
The SPACE GNOME is the GNOME’s bigger, louder sister – still slick, still portable, now with hips and sounds straight from heaven.
It’s a 100% analog, complete guitar amp with switchable DIRT channel and Spring*** Reverb – right at your feet. Inside: a fully discrete Class A preamp, serial effects loop, and a MOSFET power amp pushing up to 50 watts @ 4Ω. Handmade in Sweden. And yes – it’s LOUD*.
* Need less volume but the same feel? SPACE GNOME includes a REC-OUT jack for your DAW, tape deck or live mixer – without IRs, latency or trendy nonsense. Just tone. Real tone. That’s the Himmelstrutz way.

SPACE GNOME IN DEPTH
In 2022 Himmelstrutz Elektro Art takes the step into the amplifier world to make a new kind of, a different amp named 8/Infinity. What makes this creation stand out today is its size and simplicity – it’s an analog, fully self-contained guitar amplifier that fits in an MXR-sized pedal! No digital controls, no IRs, no mobile apps – just real tone.
You get 8 watts @ 8Ω or 15 watts @ 4Ω, with full EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble), Volume, and a serial effects loop. Despite its size, it delivers clear, sparkling cleans at low volume and rich, sustaining overdrive when pushed – ideal for recording, rehearsing, or gigging. Think Marshall Plexi tones, but pocket-sized and pedalboard-ready.
We didn’t know it at first – but some of you wanted more than 8 or 15 watts. Some of you also needed one more trick in the same tiny, all-analog format. That’s where the GNOME project began.
Then we learned something else: some of you – yes, especially the dreamy ones – wanted foot-switchable DIRT and a real spring* reverb, for more spacious, emotional tones. The kind that leads to hits. Or romance. Or both. So here it is. The SPACE GNOME. You're welcome.
Like the GNOME, the SPACE GNOME is built around a pure Class A preamp – no lifeless op-amps, no clipping diodes – just real analog tone. Add a serial effects loop and a MOSFET power amp pushing up to 50 watts @ 4Ω, and you’ve got something loud, raw and ready.
Maybe it’s time to rethink the old valve obsession and take a step forward. Come on. Let’s jump.

Question: Why also this so dumb Himmelstrutz SPACE GNOME amp? Isn’t it enough already with them laughable & dwarfy 8/Infinity and GNOME?
Reply: There’s no such thing as laughable or the rest of immature expressions here. SPACE GNOME is equipped with a footswitchable Spring Reverb*** and also the DIRT channel is chosen by a soft/quiet footswitch. This could have been even worse.

*** The Spring
As SPACE GNOME is smaller than any existing spring reverbration unit we have chosen another way which sounds and feels like a tube spring reverbration unit, in our case with the Fender Princeton Reverb-Amp in mind!
The SPACE GNOME is designed and assembled in Sweden – the foundation of all Himmelstrutz products – by the same guy who started this company in 2004.
| 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 SPACE 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. |
| POTENTIOMETERS | |
| Dirt | Amount of drive for the DIRT channel. |
| Bass | Low-frequency tone control. |
| Mid | Midrange tone control. |
