  • Watch Nate & Nash demo the new amp from Silktone. Here's what the creator of the new Silktone Parallel has to say about it:
    A 25 Watt Parallel Single-Ended Tube Amp!
    If it’s not obvious yet, I really like single-ended amps. Their ability to deliver nuance, richness and harmonic texture is unmatched when done well. They offer a different sound quality you simply cannot get from a push-pull amp but single-ended amps to date have been limited mostly to 5-10 watts. I really leaned into this with the design of the original Silktone Amp but I still get one request more than any other: more power.
    The easy path would have been a higher powered push-pull version! They’re inherently lower noise, smaller transformers, higher power. It’s just easier and cheaper all around to make a 25W push/pull amp - but what you gain in power you end up losing in sound quality as they also cancel harmonics and introduce crossover distortions I’m not crazy about. I wouldn’t call it worse, just different. I didn’t want that - so I took the hard path. A 25W single-ended amp. I wanted to capture the rich single-ended KT66 tone the Silktone Amp has become known for but expand on it and give it a voice of its own.
    Comparing this amp to the Silktone Amp what you’d immediately notice is more volume, more bass, more chime, more texture, more everything. The bass response is insane, it can get super low without saturating or farting out and has such a thick and present delivery of sub harmonics when driven. I love throwing a downtuned guitar or even a bass through it and just letting it rip. The new pine cab makes the upper mids really shine through too, it’s so open and resonant without sacrificing too much focus and sweetness - cuts through a mix like butter. The highs! With the help of the pine cab and bright mode this is our most chimey amp to date but it never gets harsh or piercing. Taking a note from the Micronaut and adding a feedback loop kill switch took this thing even further - it shifts the whole character of the amp to become more open, dirtier and grittier with more touch sensitivity. Mode II plus raw silk is fuzz city, a place I often hang.
    From heart-melty jazzy r&b tones, to crunchy hard-rock bangers, to downtuned C-std doomgaze - I use this thing for every variety my tastes require.

      I love Xanadu, I hadn’t thought about doing that for a demo… great idea! That first tune was my arrangement of “Summer Soft” by Stevie Wonder. 👍
