The 15Watt Howitzer guitar amp/preamp is an ultra-compact workhorse that's perfect as part of a portable guitar rig, or as an emergency backup and gig saver should your main amp break down. It's super flexible, like a musical chameleon, and depending on the gear you use and your style, will fit in the broadest range of genres.

The 15Watt Howitzer's Volume and Gain controls let you go as clean or as crunchy as you want while the Bass, Mid and Treble knobs provide plentiful tone shaping. Its FX Loop gives you the option of putting effects like reverb and delay after the preamp. Of course you can still run your guitar straight into pedals and then right into the 15Watt Howitzer's input jack.

Features
• 15 watts of power, but small enough to fit on a pedalboard or pack in a gig bag
• A full set of sound shaping controls: Volume, Gain, Bass, Mid and Treble
• Bright/Norm switch: choose between a subtle top boost with more presence or a slightly darker top end
• Class D amp design for maximum output efficiency and minimal space requirements. Note: The D does not stand for digital and while this is a solid-state design, there is no digital coding of the signal
• Comes equipped with its own 24VDC/1.0A Power Supply
• FX loop with Send/Return jacks lets you place effects between the 15Watt Howitzer's preamp section and Volume knob
• Connects directly to an 8O - 16O speaker cabinet

...and, overall, I still think it's a pretty solid little amp. A couple of issues: The tone controls have very little range; the TREBLE control causes the volume to increase noticeably as you turn the treble down (I contacted EHX and they confirmed that this is not normal); and the amp's OD/crunch as you increase GAIN has a not-so-sweet crackly/grainy sound to it. No deal-breakers, but there's enough there to temper my initial enthusiasm for the amp. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty good amp for the money.

I have this amp driving a 1x12 cab loaded with a Celestion G12M Greenback and it sounds awesome. It works really well with my ZOOM G3X's effects. The BRIGHT switch adds a nice amount of top boost and presence to the sound at lower volume levels. And it powers up quietly (no loud pop/thump, unlike some other mini amps I demo'd recently). Well-priced and worth every penny, IMO.

Perfect Small Amp, Loud enough for jam practice, Sound is great, FX loop works as a charm. Bright mode is better to ears, EHX is always awesome.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
