Fat Dog amplifier
is not just another reworked guitar amp. Each model was designed
and built from start to finish as a harmonica amp to give you the good
old fashioned blues harp tone you want. Fat Dog amps respond to
the
way that normal musicians play the harmonica. They go from sweet,
mellow tones to full honk, and the overdrive threshold is right where
you want
it so you don't have to put up with constant annoying distortion or
excessive clean headroom.
Most importantly, Fat Dog amps don't have that "Big Fender" sound that you hear from the fixed bias 4x10 amps that seem to be everywhere. There's nothing wrong with the Big Fender Sound, but the world didn't need one more amp with that sound. Fat Dog amps sound more like what you hear on the old recordings from the 1950s, a lot of which were done with the small, cheap department store amps of the old days. Fat Dog amps were designed for little amp sound in a big amp, so you can have that great vintage tone with big stage volume! All Fat Dog combo models have preamp tubes in common, but the power amps are different. As a result, each amp has its own voice. The lineup includes amps for every room from a small bar to a large club. If you want a great vintage tone, you're sure to find just what you're looking for. We've done a lot of testing of different speakers to find which ones work the best in each different amplifier model. If you want to know what we figured out, see the speakers page. |

The
Fat Dog Model 4A represents the pinnacle of thick blues tone
from a class A amplifier. With quadraphonic 6V6 power amps, the
Model
4A has a smooth, creamy overdrive that you have to hear to
believe. If you like hornlike tones,
Chicago honk, and rich crunchy note attacks, this is your amp.
The Model 4A is the
crunchiest dirty Chicago blues amp in the Fat Dog line.The Model 4A's four separate power amps create a very thick, complex tone, with a huge reduction in feedback tendency. You can turn this amp ALL THE WAY UP without creating a feedback nightmare, and it's louder than you would believe possible from a low power unit. With around 25 class A watts, the Model 4A is perfect for a working blues band. The sound has an amazing ability to penetrate to the back of the room. ![]() The Model 4A is equipped with two Jensen P10R alnico and two C10R ceramic speakers. |
