Quick-picture an archetypal jazz guitarist: Lives in New York City. Takes taxis to gigs. Not exactly wealthy. Mostly plays small clubs, except for those European summer festivals, which make gear that fits in the overhead bin a godsend.
That player is going to love the great-sounding, reasonably priced, and almost absurdly small Bud, a dual-channel solid-state combo from Henriksen, a company that specializes in compact, clean-toned amps. But it would be a shame if only jazz guitarists knew of Bud, since players in many styles could probably find uses for this impressive little instrument.
Small amps with big power aren’t a new phenomenon, but I’ve never encountered a subcompact amp that sounds so deep and three-dimensional. Bud’s 9" x 9" x 9" enclosure houses a 6.5" Eminence Beta speaker and a neodymium tweeter, producing remarkably rich lows and airy, spacious, highs. It’s rated at 135 watts and weighs a modest 17 pounds. With the amp stowed in its nylon carrying case, you could easily carry your guitar, amp, and pedalboard into the club in one trip and still have a spare hand to hold the door open for your bandmates.
