Himmelstrutz Amplifiers
At Himmelstrutz Elektro Art we build unique, handcrafted amps that deliver the sound and feel of classic valve designs – without the valves!
Our GNOME, GOAT AC30s and KING COBRA use fully analog, discrete transistor circuits with no digital processing, giving you natural tone, authentic dynamics and the right response. Still craving valves? From time to time, amps like the GOAT AZ15 Saffron appear in our Custom Shop – one-offs built with the same philosophy: to deliver something real and unique. Whatever you pick, you’ll get that Himmelstrutzic musical feel. And yes – size matters: the smaller the better, of course! See the comparison below to find your match.
Our Amp Models | |||||

 | GOAT AC30s | Old VOX AC30 British high voltage valve-like solid state unique discrete transistor solution. | 1 channel. Vintage feel and dynamics, fully analog. | “MXR” Pedal Size (110 x 60 x 50 mm), 0,45 kg, robust, no servicing over time. | 30W @ 8 ohm |
 | GNOME | Generic/British high voltage valve-like solid state unique discrete transistor solution. | 2 channels, CLEAN/DIRTY (via front switch). Vintage feel and dynamics, fully analog. | “MXR” Pedal Size (110 x 60 x 50 mm), 0,45 kg, robust, no servicing over time. | 30W @ 8 ohm |
 | SPACE GNOME | Generic/British high voltage valve-like solid state unique discrete transistor solution (with foot switchable spring reverb). | 2 channels, CLEAN/DIRTY (via foot switch). Vintage feel and dynamics, fully analog with spring born reverb. | “EHX” Pedal Size (120 x 95 x 50 mm), 0,5 kg, robust, no servicing over time. | 30W @ 8 ohm |
