Imagine being able to get Plexi tones and Blackface Bassman tones (but without the flabby bottom) from the same amp. The Road Hogg series amps allow you to do JUST that!
The Road Hogg preamp starts with a Plexi toplogy, but with some very powerful modifications that allow you to choose if you want that classic Plexi midrange, or scoop that out and reveal a cleaner decidedly more Bassman-like tone. Read "The Full Story" below for all the details on how I make this happen.
The Road Hogg Lite offers the same great preamp as it's big brothers in a smaller, lither, and more affordable package. But don't let the cost and size fool you, this little tone monster packs a serious punch. It's enough volume for most bar gigs and will hang with most drummers just fine. All in a package waiting in at around 35lb!
As with every other member of the Road Hogg family, the Road Hogg Lite is ultra dynamic, responding to pick attack and even the most subtle nuance of player and guitar. It also makes a fantastic pedal platform.
NOTE: The Road Hogg Lite is NOT a Plexi clone!
It starts with the basis of the venerable Plexi circuit and builds on it to offer so much more.
