Milkman Sound Pint 10W
Milkman Sound · amplifier
The Milkman Sound Pint is a 10-watt combo designed to add power to the low-wattage Half Pint circuit, and its distinguishing component is a custom Mercury Magnetics output transformer allowing a parallel single-ended 6V6 output arrangement. That gives it roughly double the Half Pint's output while keeping the class A character and the extended-headroom reverb and tremolo the Milkman range is known for. At 10 watts it pushes the usable ceiling up enough for small venues and louder rehearsal without losing the ability to saturate at a workable level. Milkman build by hand in San Francisco. It suits recording and small-venue players who found the Half Pint short on headroom.
