Higher Power is a 60W class d solid state power amp solution. 

Don't be fooled, it'll push your 4x12 plenty but it shines on a 1x12 or 2x12 at bedroom levels. The buffer inside sets up your signal with a nice flat response going into the power section so you can drop your favorite preamp pedals in front.

Output impedance of 4-16 ohm. 

Designed to be fed with 24VDC center negative.  It can run on as little as 9v with power scaling down to approximately ~10W. This is not recommended to be powered by your daisy chain or iso-supply. Recommended to be with the supplied power supply and polarity adapter that is shipped with the product.

The supplied 24VDC power supply is center positive and the pedal is center negative. You must use the supplied adapter with them. Adapter is not required if using a typical center negative 9-18v power supply.

Do not use a class d power amp with an attenuator/loadbox. It’s not necessary and it will damage one or the other. Consult your attenuators manual first as I do not know all products and cannot answer for each product that exists out there. For example, Torpedo products specifically state they are safe for solid state amps and that is what I use here.

    a lot of power in a little box

    It is very practical and easy to use and of very good quality, I am very happy, and even happier using it in stereo mode. I recommend it

    Huge power, small package.

    This power amp is awesome! On gigs and rehearsals, I bring my Headrush Gigboard, a Mesa 4x12, and the Higher Power. That is all I need. The Higher Power drives my 4x12 with ease and is loud enough to compete with my other guitarist running a Triple Recto. No problem with acoustic drums, sounds clean and loud. Absolutely no issues. Would and will buy again for a stereo setup!
