SNAMM03: Amps Sound Better With Sound Enhancer
The revolutionary Sound Enhancer

It's always good to get a little quality time walking the floor of the NAMM show to see what you can find. It was on such a stroll that I came across the Sound Enhancer, a revolutionary product for improving the performance and isolation of combo amps. Based on "Manifold Horn Technology" similar to that used in good old rock n' roll PA systems, the Enhancer is like a hollow shelf on which you place your combo of choice with a hole designed to fit right behind the speaker in the amp when it's sitting in place and the horn-like opening below the amp that projects the sound out.

We saw a demo featuring a small combo amp and the results were amazing. The sound becomes much louder with a greater direction and body, as the noise that usually comes out of the back of the amp is redirected forward. As well as making the amp sound better, it won't need to be driven as hard to generate a full sound, plus the guy playing drums doesn't get an earful - in fact the level is attenuated by some 12dB which will help in stage spill to other mics too.

Made from 9-ply Baltic Birch, it has a solid construction and comes in a range of sizes to accommodate many different combo sizes and could be used for keyboard combos. Future models will include the cunning use of space inside the Enhancer for use as a place to put your leads an other vital items (beer perhaps?)

The guys who make the Enhancer were a lovely bunch, check out our video of the demo (coming soon) - we think you'll be impressed.
