Ampete 444 Midi Amp/Cabinet Switching System

The Ampete 444 (formally known as Spyder) is the first in a series of Amp and Cabinet Switching Systems that are gonna change the game!

The 444 is the first complete switching solution right out of the box. If you are a well equipped guitarist and sound enthusiast, a touring Pro Musician, a Studio Engineer, or just a gearfreak as we are, who’s not willing to swap his beloved tube amps against one of those soulless, simulating, digital boxes out there - this surely is the missing piece in your arsenal!

Don’t read any further if you are looking for a handy all-in-one amplifier.


If you have several amps and cabs, and love them all for a reason? Let´s say ...that Boogie for the rich and chimy clean sound, that Friedman for the tight and overwhelming rhythm, that Diezel for its heavy chunk and that Bogner for that singing leads... that open 2x12 for bringing out the best of your clean sound, those 4x12 Greenbacks for your crunch, don´t want to miss that aggression of those V30´s or the extra bit of flavour of those Scumbags? The Ampete Spyder lets you switch between any of those combinations with a flip of a switch!

Choose from any of the 4 capable Heads (1 at a time), combine it any of the 4 capable Cabs (up to 2 at a time).
