Whoa! That could be a real game changer. Put that on a pedalboard in place of your reverb and trem pedals and set up a cabinet with a neo speaker and you're set.

yes - eventually. It sounds exactly the same as the other Half and Half, but with slightly less power. I think this form factor will compliment the combo version nicely

Can this be run strictly as a preamp/headphone amp without connecting a speaker?
