Seattle, WA January 14 2010 – Jet City Amplification today announced the debut of its new PicoValve guitar amplifier, which was licensed from THD Electronics, a company specializing in tube guitar amplification.

“A big part of our product strategy is to partner with fine guitar amp makers, bringing their designs and specialties to the market through Jet City Amplification”, said Douglas White, Marketing and Product Development Manager. “PicoValve fits into our product range perfectly, and THD are the experts at designing amplifiers with this feature set”.

PicoValve is a 5 watt, all-tube guitar head, in THD’s signature steel-cage format. Features include a half-power switch, full EQ, Master Volume, and THD’s innovative design allowing for almost any octal-based power tube to be used, at will, without re-biasing the amplifier. Set to ship in Spring of 2010, PicoValve will hit the market with a US suggested street price of $289.99.

“We dreamt up the PicoValve almost 10 years ago, but weren’t sure how to fit it into our product line, in terms of price and production capacity” said THD owner Andy Marshall. “When our friends at Jet City approached us, we knew the PicoValve would be perfect for our two companies to collaborate on. We are thrilled that the public will finally get to enjoy this little monster.”
