So here is the reveal of the new name and logo for this amp. In keeping with my fireworks theme:

Cool, huh?

Most web searches will probably yield results for this older Mesa Boogie product :

I dig it. "pocket rocket" could also be cool. Logo is cool too. Has a sort of 1950's/60's charm to it.

Doesn't the Friedman brand own that name already?

Sorry I couldn't help myself. No offense intended towards Dave and his killer amps.

The name is cool for your amp line. Works well the with the Cherry Bomb name but just being honest... not crazy about the logo. Will it be cut out of the metal piece on the front of the amp like the CB or will it just be silk screened on the front plate near the controls?

It will be silk screened on the front plate near the controls only - no metal pieces on the Bottle Rocket head case. Thanks for the honest opinion on the logo - the bottom line is that you can't please everyone with any design. I dig it, so I'm moving forward...

I think it looks cool
So will the headshell basically be all
1 color tolex with the Henning metal
Plate logo ?

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Just go black chassis and black tolex/white piping. Keep it simple.

Thought of something else while walking my dog.. would there be any point in adding a switchable bright cap with a few diff values? The 800 circuit is bright at lower volumes. Maybe a switch to go from 150/500/1500 pf or whatever your circuit makes use of? I suppose the PPIMV takes care of this though so maybe pointless. Maybe a pot for the NFR could be cool to get a lil more sag from it and fart the bottom out if you want a loose vintage response. Again, just throwing out something that was more interesting to think about than my dog trying to spot and chase squirrels.

My next amp will most likely be the Bottle Rocket or used Small Box Time to start saving

It will have some metal venting, but otherwise, you got it!

There will be two ON-OFF-ON bright switches. One for each gain stage... BTW - this isn't an 800 circuit, although it will do those tones...

Steve, I think the logo and description sounds cool. Should go good with the metal henning logo. Can't wait to see and hear this!

Nice Steve.

Although I am kinda partial to the 'Henning Burning Schoolhouse'
