Re: ZSS Electronics - Silent Rocker (5 Watt, 2 channel, tube head)
While iam intrigued and interested its missing a few things that would be good to have... First I dont see a pilot light to let us know its on, this is a nice feature so i dont have to feel the switches with my hand on a dark stage or check with my guitar volume. Even in your bedroom its nice that you dont accidentally forget and leave the amp idling over the weekend.
2nd and for me its huge is there is no jack for a footswitch, not so cool to have to reach over and change channels with your hand.
The labeling is a bit awkward too, using "anode" instead of the more common "standby" might create some confusion, also why call it "silent rocker" its an amplifier its not suppose to be silent? If someone says "silent rocker" to me i dont think amplifier i think a direct recording device or maybe a headphone amp.
just some thoughts
thanks for your thoughts.
Pilot light - it's a good idea, we will think of it in future models.
In this model, wen it's on, you see the light of tubes, so it should be convenient at all)
Anode/standby - also not bad idea, we'll take it into account.
Footswitch - is possible as a custom option, just mark it as an option and we will add it. it will cost few additional coins, but not much really)
about name your thoughts are right 100%: Silent rocker - is a guitar amp for live playing at home or studio, it is a silent guitar tube amp (5 watts), it has headphones output, and can be used for silent recording without cabinet and microphones, it has direct from preamp output with switching off a power amp, and it has a line output also.
In practice - if use it for silent recording without cabinet and microphone or amp loader, best results are reached when signal is taken from preamp to impulses in software. And better results with an amp loader (like Torpedo Live for example, or any else)

What is also good in our products, that you can order almost any custom option, that you need. We can make it come true)
By the way , also 110/220 version is available (with switch of voltage)
