On the heels of new products like the Ram’s Head Big Muff Pi reissue, NYC Cans and Sport Buds and the S8 Multi-Output power supply, Electro-Harmonix has now unveiled the 5MM Guitar Power Amplifier.

The pocket-sized power amp pedal produces 2.5 watts and can be connected directly to an 8ohm–16ohm speaker cabinet.

Controls on the 5MM are streamlined – just a volume knob and a bright/norm switch that adds top boost or presence when engaged – but the sounds on tap are varied.

The 5MM comes with its own power supply and is available for $63.80.
