Electro Harmonix have stepped into compact amp territory with something that feels ready for real playing.
Electro Harmonix have introduced the ABRAMS100, a compact solid state head that brings surprising strength for its size. It is light to lift, quick to set up and has enough clean volume to work with whatever pedal chain you put in front of it, whether you play softly or push things harder.
The front end is lean and powerful. There is gain, a three band EQ and a single volume control that reacts in a firm, predictable way. The bright switch adds a little edge when you want to cut through, while the built in digital spring reverb gives a sense of space that feels grounded rather than flashy. Everything sits comfortably within reach and encourages you to play rather than tweak.
An effects loop sits on the back, giving your delays and ambient effects a clean path. It keeps the response of the amp intact while letting the pedals breathe, which is useful when your board is doing the shaping and you want the amp to stay responsive to your touch.
From what players are reporting, the ABRAMS100 carries itself with a clear sense of direction. Notes sit with intention, the response stays steady across different playing styles, and the amp seems to hold its shape whether someone is taking it easy or pushing harder. It appears comfortable in small venues, practice rooms and home setups without demanding much adjustment, and it gives the impression that it can move between those spaces without losing its footing.
Rather than trying to reinvent anything, the ABRAMS100 feels like an amp made for players who want to get straight to the part that matters, the part where the guitar actually feels good to play. It lands as a dependable piece of gear with a voice that holds up on its own. Check out the latest from the legends at EHX here.
