Pizzolato Amplifiers Doom Amp Head

Meet the DOOM Amp, big brother of our beloved Black Mountain Drive.

Note: This price is for the amplifier head only. A matching cabinet like the one in the picture can be built for $500 more (unloaded).

While it’s not a direct clone of any specific amp on the market, this powerhouse blends signature qualities from a trio of legendary tones: the Marshall JCM800, Traynor YBA series, and Ampeg SVT. The goal? To craft an amp that's not only versatile across musical styles but also delivers outstanding performance with bass guitar.

At the heart of this versatility is a unique control we call SCOOP. It’s far more than your standard mid-scoop knob—this thoughtfully engineered feature lets players dial in everything from the punchy, mid-forward roar of a Marshall to the thick, scooped warmth reminiscent of a Blackface Fender, and all tonal flavors in between.

When paired with a bass guitar, the amp truly shines. With more mids in the mix, you’ll get a gritty, SVT-style tube overdrive. Pull them back, and you’re rewarded with a clean, full-bodied tone that’s perfect for funk, slap, and groove-heavy playing.

The amplifier also features tube-driven FX loop and digital reverb (Belton/Accutronics) that sounds fantastic. Whether you’re after a subtle ambient echo or a lush, modulated depth with chorus-like character, this reverb adds dimension and richness to your tone without overpowering it.

Delivering 50 watts of tube power (switchable to 25W), the amp is powered by two EL34 tubes.
