Epifani Piccolo 555

Piccolo is designed to deliver world-class tone whether you’re playing stadium rock or smoky jazz. A finely tuned 3-band EQ gives you the power to sculpt your tone for any room, any style. And, with up to 1000 watts of pure power, you can push multiple speaker cabinets to fill any space with warm lows, biting mids, and soaring highs.

Piccolo packs more professional features into its portable, 4.5 pound frame than any other amp. Like an effects loop, active/passive input, and a powerful mid-cut to bring out that killer slap tone just when you need it. And Piccolo features our critically acclaimed Vintage Tone circuit. Turn it on and an analog tube emulator rounds the edges and warms your sound for that quintessential 70’s tone.

Gain
Controls the volume of the signal passing through the EQ stage. To set perfectly: continually play your loudest, lowest note. Turn the Gain knob clockwise until the green light begins to turn orange/red as you attack the note. Now slowly turn the Gain knob counter-clockwise until the note you’re playing produces only the occasional flash of orange. Leave the gain there and control your volume with the Master Volume knob.

Mid Cut Switch
Activates Mid Cut EQ. Green light is on when active. Expertly tuned for the perfect scooped-mid slap tone.

Mid Cut Level
Provides up to 8 dB of cut @ 800 Hz. To set perfectly: set knob at 12 o’clock position. Activate the Mid Cut using the switch or optional foot pedal. Boost or cut in small increments by turning the knob clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Active/Passive Switch
Provides a 10 dB boost for passive basses. Reduces output signal of active basses to avoid unwanted distortion.

Input Jack
Connect your instrument using a standard 1/4 inch instrument cable.
