Teenage Engineering Unveils Multi-Effects Portable Amp EP-35
Discover the new EP-35 amp by Teenage Engineering, packed with effects and Bluetooth capabilities for musicians.
Teenage Engineering is expanding its innovative sound solutions with the debut of the EP-35, a versatile, battery-powered instrument amplifier designed for musicians of all genres.
Key Features of the EP-35
The EP-35 boasts multiple input options, including a line-in port, a 1/4-inch guitar jack, and an XLR input tailored for microphones—compatible with those needing phantom power. But that’s not all; it also allows for seamless audio streaming via Bluetooth. Musicians can even connect multiple EP-35 units together using Auracast for a richer sound experience. This unique feature supports stereo pairing, letting you tilt the amp to set the correct audio channel effortlessly.
An Array of Built-in Effects
What sets the EP-35 apart is its sophisticated effects processing for both vocal and instrument channels. However, users should note that control is somewhat simplified. Instead of fine-tuning settings, you can select from a range of preset styles like "blues," "indie," or "twang." Each preset comes with a curated set of effects, adjustable via a single knob that modifies the intensity of the applied effects.
For vocalists, the amp features distinct presets that include options like “radio” and “robo choir.” With this setup, you can easily enhance your audio output without needing extensive technical knowledge.
Accessories to Enhance Your Experience
Teenage Engineering is also rolling out a selection of accessories that complement the EP-35. Among these is the innovative “amptenna,” allowing the amplifier to function as an FM radio. Additionally, the EP-127 KO Pedal presents a new level of control with its wireless MIDI capabilities.
This pedal enhances your interaction with the EP-35 by providing additional functionality over the built-in effects. It includes a simple looper and metronome, along with a jack for an expression pedal that can adjust the volume for a specific channel on the amplifier. The versatility of the EP-127 doesn’t stop there—it also sports a 3.5mm MIDI output, allowing use with other synthesizers, pedals, or even video playback from a computer.
Availability and Pricing
The EP-35 amplifier is currently available for purchase at a price of $399. With its blend of features and user-friendly design, it’s an appealing option for musicians looking to elevate their live performances or practice sessions.
