Smokey® Amps
The original hardwired amplifier that fits in your pocket.
There's a reason Smokey Amps have been used by dozens of famous artists, including such giants as Les Paul, Aerosmith, REM, ZZ Top, Rod Stewart, Eric McFadden, and Offspring. Their tough distortion and speaker output function that allows you to power any speaker cabinet (it’s amazingly loud!) have made them a favorite among guitar players everywhere.

FAQ's
Plugging a mono ¼: plug into the INPUT of the Smokey amp connects the battery to the circuit and energizes the amplifier. Remember to UNPLUG the Smokey amplifier when you are finished playing to maximize battery life.
The Smokey amp features an External Speaker connection, which disconnects the internal speaker, routing all of the power to an external speaker or cabinet. Simply connect a speaker cable from the speaker cabinet to the “Ext Speaker” jack on the Smokey amp.

Plugging the output of the Smokey into the Input of a guitar amp will overdrive the living shit out of the other amplifier. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya if you blow something up. Another way would be to pick up our the SSB pedal, which lets you use your Smokey as a pedal, giving you true bypass and a post distortion tone and level control!
the Smokey SSB is the pedal that extends the capabilities of the Smokey amp, allowing the player to use the Smokey as a preamp, overdrive, etc.
Quite literally, the one you’ve got. The Smokey will power speakers with an impedance rating of between 2 to 32 Ohms.
