Milkman Sound has expanded its popular line of pedalboard amplifiers with the mighty The Amp Stereo. This newly-designed, fully stereo amplifier design boasts many extra features that will surely make this an essential part of any musician's toolkit — particularly players who want a compact and portable rig right at their feet with multiple options.

With The Amp Stereo, there's now an elegant, analogue, and easy to use end-of-the-chain solution for guitarists using stereo effects (like delays, reverbs and modulations FX) — featuring Milkman's cab sim sweetener, a stereo headphone amplifier, and two powerful channels of amplification! On top of the stereo functionality, The Amp Stereo can be run as two independent amplifiers each powering separate channels of audio. Just use the built-in footswitches to sum to mono and fix phase issues potentially created by wet/dry guitar setups or cabinets with reverse polarity.

The two outputs can also run into separate cabinets varying in impedance and wattage. For example, a 4 ohm bass cabinet can be powered by one side, and an 8 ohm guitar cabinet by the other. Ultimately, Milkman's The Amp Stereo has been designed to maximise headroom and serve as a foundation for all manner of instruments and effects. And like all Milkman products, The Amp Stereo is built by hand in California with the finest components available.

Controls

Left:

  • Volume: This knob controls the input gain for the right channel of The Amp Stereo.
  • Treble: High Frequency EQ adjustment.
  • Bass: Low Frequency EQ adjustment.

Right:

  • Volume: This knob controls the input gain for the left channel of The Amp Stereo.
  • Treble: High Frequency EQ adjustment.
  • Bass: Low Frequency EQ adjustment.

Output: The single large knob controls how much of the signal from both preamps goes to the output. Think of this less like a master volume, and more like the master fader on a mixing console. This is the only level control for the various outputs.

Footswitches

  • Sum: When this switch is depressed and the LED is lit, the two preamps will be summed together. If you are using a stereo input, then it will create a mono summed signal that comes out of both channels. If you are using only one input, it will sum to both channels.
  • Ø: When the phase switch is depressed and the LED is lit, the output of the right side will invert. This can be useful for aligning phase if something in your signal chain flips phase, or if both speaker cabinets are not wired the same.

Rear Panel Features

The rear panel has all of the inputs and outputs for The Amp Stereo, with the exception of the headphone amplifier which is on the front:

  • Input: Plug your guitar or instruments in here. The input impedance of The Amp Stereo is 1 Mohm, so it will have enough headroom for all guitars and line instruments.
  • Sim Off: Use this switch to toggle the cab sim EQ on and off. The cab Sim is an analogue EQ-based sweetener on 2 outputs: the balanced TRS output, and headphones.
  • Balanced Out: This is a line level balanced output on dual TRS connectors. Connecting to a balanced 1/4" TRS input is preferred for lowest noise, but if your interface mixer or amplifier only has unbalanced TS 1/4" inputs, The Amp Stereo's balanced out can feed that input with a 6 db loss in level and minimal degradation in fidelity as long as the TS cable length is kept to a minimum.
  • GND Lift: There may be a situation where you are using more than one output at once and creating a ground loop between various pieces of equipment. The Balanced Out has a ground lift switch to isolate ground at the TRS balanced output. If you hear excessive hum when using the line outputs, try lifting ground to reduce noise.
  • Speaker: You can power a 4, 8, or 16 ohm speaker load from each output. At 4 ohms, The Amp Stereo will put out 200 watts per output. At 8 ohms, each output is rated at 100 watts, and at 16 ohms, each output is rated at 50 watts. It is 100% safe to operate The Amp Stereo with no speaker load attached.
  • Power Switch: The Amp Stereo will power on when the power switch is rocked into the on position.
  • Power Input: The Amp Stereo can support any power input between 100 VAC and 240 VAC. This makes it ideal for international travel. There is no switch to change input voltage — The Amp automatically detects the input voltage and adjusts its internal voltages accordingly.

EQ

While Ed Sheeran primarily relies on the natural sound of his acoustic guitar and vocals, he occasionally uses EQ (Equalization) to shape and enhance his tone during live performances or in the studio. EQ pedals or onboard preamps can allow him to adjust the frequency response of his guitar signal to suit the acoustics of different venues or to achieve specific tonal characteristics. Here’s how EQ might be utilized in Ed Sheeran’s setup:

1. **Tonal Shaping**: EQ can be used to adjust the balance of frequencies in the guitar signal, allowing Ed Sheeran to shape his tone to his liking. For example, he might boost the midrange frequencies to bring out the warmth and presence of his acoustic guitar, or cut certain frequencies to reduce any harshness or mud in the sound.

2. **Feedback Control**: In a live setting, EQ can help control feedback by notching out problematic frequencies that might cause the guitar signal to feed back through the amplification system. This can be particularly useful when performing in venues with challenging acoustics or high volume levels.

3. **Room Correction**: In situations where the venue’s acoustics are less than ideal, EQ can be used to compensate for any deficiencies in the sound. By adjusting the EQ settings, Ed Sheeran can tailor the guitar tone to sound more balanced and natural, regardless of the room’s acoustic properties.

4. **Matching Gear**: EQ can also be used to match the tone of Ed Sheeran’s guitar to the sound of other instruments or equipment in his setup. For example, he might adjust the EQ to complement the tonal characteristics of his vocal microphone or to blend seamlessly with backing tracks or other instruments.

Overall, while EQ may not be a central component of Ed Sheeran’s guitar effects setup, it can still play a valuable role in shaping his tone and ensuring that he achieves the desired sound in different performance environments. Whether used subtly for tonal shaping or more aggressively for feedback control, EQ allows Ed Sheeran to tailor his guitar tone to suit his musical vision and performance needs.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
