Sold: The Gonzo Gonzalez One


There ain't much fear & loathing when it comes to The Gonzo Gonzalez One, but we can safely say that Hunter S.T. would have been proud to call this little amp his own. For lets be straight about it without any need for prevarication or artifice; this is one crazy mother of an amp, and is as likely to run naked through the crematorium on the day of your Granny's funeral as it is to give you a smooth, MOR blues.

What makes this baby the ultimate in screw-ups, is that despite the lovingly designed and hand soldered Amy Tone amp, fitting snugly and gently into an England’s Glory matchbox, with it's clean-cut lines and tendency to get a little sniffy when the pressure is on. Despite all of the hand craftedness and feel good polish, and everything else that is good and sane. Despite all this tenderness, we decided to chuck a hairdryer in the bath and wallop a crazy speedball of a fuzz circuit into the same box for good measure. And man does it make a mess.

You could feel like you are waking in a desert, so be warned.
Don't mix it with too much tequila.

The Gonzo Gonzalez One is only the fourth ever Jooky Cigar Box Amp we have made available and comes with a 9V battery and the trademark Jooky wrapping service, for a quite incredible,  £29 delivered anywhere in the UK.

Just to be clear, this is our fourth ever Cigar Box Amp and it is marked with the Serial Number: Jge#4. More importantly it is brilliant fun and we are quite sure that whether you or the guitarist in your life plays a Danelectro or a White Falcon, it is the amp that will see hair greased to a quiff, lip curled and Gonzo thrown in the back of a Thunderbird, most often.

Just don't chew too many worms.
They bite, you know?

Unfortunately, you can’t buy The Gonzo Gonzalez One, as somebody beat you to it.
