Z.Vex Amplifiers have created the Nano Head. A tube guitar amplifier head that will fit in the palm of your hand. The Nano Head boasts that it is the world's smallest production tube amp.

Here's what Z.Vex says about the Nano Head:

"This little marvel is a one-half watt (distorted) powerhouse that will surprise you with its apparent volume. Plug it into a 4X12 (or any 8 to 16 ohm speaker) and listen to it roar! This amp is voiced to deliver classic rock tone, with a very high level of crunch available if it's wanted. Just crank the volume knob around to the level of distortion you desire, from a very quiet (one tenth watt) clean mode to a micro-Marshall (TM) blast when cranked up. I am making myself a little ill (gag!) trying to describe the tone of my Nano, using the same tired old phrases that all the amp and distortion box makers use, but I think it's true... it does a great job of emulating big amps at very reasonable volumes, which makes it exceptionally nice for recording."

The Z.Vex Nano Head goes for around $400. Kind of a big price for such a tiny amp. I have yet to hear one of these in person, but next time I get the chance I plan on checking one out. The Z.Vex Nano Head seems like a cool little piece o' gear.
