Joyo BanTamp Solid-State Rackmount Amplifier Head

“Mini Size, Monster Tone”

A Hybrid Amp Head That Blends Tube Warmth with Solid-State Versatility

The Joyo BanTamp series is a compact, rackmountable hybrid amplifier head that delivers powerful tone in a portable format. Combining a 12AX7 tube-driven preamp with solid-state output, this amp offers the warmth of vintage tube amps with the reliability and efficiency of modern solid-state design.

Each BanTamp model features two channels—Clean and Overdrive—plus built-in Bluetooth for wireless audio playback, an FX loop for pedal integration, and a headphone out with cab simulation for silent practice. Whether you're rehearsing, recording, or gigging, the BanTamp packs serious punch into a lunchbox-sized chassis.

Available in multiple voicings like Meteor (British high-gain), Jackman (JCM-style crunch), and Tweedy (American clean), the BanTamp series lets you choose your flavor of tone.
