Hotone NLA3 Heart Attack 5 Watt Mini Guitar Amplifier Head
The Hotone NLA3 Heart Attack is an ultra-compact 5-watt Class AB guitar amplifier head engineered to deliver the crushing high-gain distortion, tight low-end punch, and scooped mid-range response of classic American high-gain tube stacks. Perfect for metal guitarists, heavy rock practice, and desktop home recording, the Heart Attack packs aggressive, modern high-gain tone into a lightweight, palm-sized format.
Featuring intuitive controls and flexible signal routing, this micro head brings massive high-gain stack performance down to manageable desktop volume levels.
Rectifier-Inspired Voicing & 3-Band EQ
Equipped with independent Volume and Gain knobs alongside an active 3-Band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble), the Heart Attack gives players precise tone-shaping control over their heavy guitar sound:
- Volume & Gain: Dial in tight rhythmic crunch or push the gain structure into ultra-saturated, harmonic metal distortion.
- 3-Band EQ Controls: Sculpt your sound with deep, punchy low-end response, aggressive mid-range control, and razor-sharp high-end bite tailored for down-tuned or 7-string guitars.
Smart Cabinet Matching and FX Loop Integration
Despite its micro footprint, the Heart Attack offers essential utility connections for practice and recording setups:
- Adaptive Impedance Output: Automatically matches speaker cabinets rated from 4Ω to 16Ω, allowing you to power anything from a compact 1x12 to a full 4x12 cabinet.
- FX Loop: Dedicated Send and Return jacks allow you to place time-based effects like delay and reverb after the high-gain preamp circuit.
- Silent Practice & AUX Input: Includes a 1/8" (3.5mm) headphone/line output for silent practice or direct interface recording, plus a 1/8" AUX input to play along with external tracks.
