Himmelstrutz
CAN BE QUIET CAN BE LOUD—ATTENUATOR NOT NEEDED!
CAN BE DIRTY CAN BE CLEAN—PEDALS MAY NOT BE NEEDED!
SPACE GNOME viewed from the top—DIRT (true valve sounding overdrive) and Spring REVERB***—both activated with footswitches!
Himmelstrutz SPACE GNOME, a sister of Himmelstrutz GNOME—now a bit bigger but still so slick & portable, with hips and sounds made in heaven. Still a 100% analog, complete & competent guitar amplifier—this time with the DIRT Channel and a Spring Reverb*** switchable @ your feet! SPACE GNOME is designed and assembled in Sweden assisted by an all discrete Class A preamp (with a serial effects loop) and a Mosfet power amplifier of max 30 watts @ 8 Ω/50 watts @ 4 Ω—which makes it LOUD!*
* if you don’t want SPACE GNOME loud but still want great tones, with the right feeling at your fingers, for example when recording—SPACE GNOME also has a “REC-OUT” jack for your tape recorder or DAW. We don’t mess with “IR's” as it’s too time consuming (+ has latency) and is annoying for a creative music creator/player and therefore not involved in the current Himmelstrutz environment as we don’t follow just any, often by random, possible trend!

Them good old valve amplifiers have been popular among musicians for about 7 decades and still are. The reasons for this are many; but in particular because of the sound, the feel and also the looks!
There's been many times when these good old valves (old fashioned) have been challenged to be replaced by more modern gadgets based upon solid state technology = transistor solutions or integrated circuits. A few times it's been not all bad, but most of the times we have heard / felt something important and deep is missing: the sparkle, the glass, the tactile dynamics so typical in them musical valves which for sure is tough to replace or even to compete with!
No way! In 2022 Himmelstrutz Elektro Art decided to give it a go and started with a remarkable amplifier project which came to be the Himmelstrutz 8, an 8 watt guitar / bass amplifier, this time—again!—to be compared to and compete with the great valve amplifiers!
What we didn’t know, while developing Himmelstrutz 8, was that some users needed even more power (+ more functions but still preferred a 100% analog amp and still simple) and thereby GNOME was soon born.
If you plan to place Himmelstrutz GNOME on your pedalboard and want to use a suitable pedalboard power supply we have 3 suggestions for you.
