Introducing, Supernova: a 360-degree concrete guitar amp that sounds as good as it looks. The design is crafted from concrete which not only gives it a cool, monolithic look, but boasts fantastic acoustic properties as it’s rigid enough to damp driver vibrations yet not so dense as to hamper resonance.
Two drivers are housed within the body, including an up-firing tweeter and down-firing woofer that together give it a wide acoustic range. Additionally, acoustic lenses fire the sound out a full 360 degrees, meaning the amplifier can deliver great sound from anywhere in the room.
Using a smartphone, users can build sound presets as well as choose from existing amp, cab and microphone models. Choose any track from your music library to jam along, adjust the mix on the fly, tune, and record with just a touch.
Designer: Dan Salisbury
