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, SPACE GNOME, GOAT AC30s and KING COBRA use fully analog, discrete transistor circuits with no digital processing, giving you natural tone, real 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.
