Budda Amplification proudly introduces the Budda MN-100 head and MN-412 cabinet, a fully featured three-channel tube guitar amplifier head and 4×12 enclosure, featuring a custom Italian leather exterior by renowned footwear designer Mark Nason.
The Budda MN-100 is a highly versatile, high-gain amplifier featuring three independent channels, a 120-watt power section driven by four EL34 tubes, and a preamp consisting of seven dual triode 12AX7 tubes.

The Budda MN-100 also features dual 5U4 rectifier tubes and a solid-state rectifier, with Budda’s patent-pending PowerPan variable rectification control that allows players to open uncharted tone territory by selecting tube rectification, diode rectification or anywhere between the two.

All three of the Budda MN-100’s independent channels – Clean, Rhythm and Lead – include separate three-band EQ, Reverb, Resonance, Presence, and true bypass effects loop with send and return levels. Each channel also features OVER-BOOST, a stompbox-style lead boost that engages an additional tube-driven gain circuit to give players a supercharged boost. The effects loop on channel 2 can also be used as a global loop for incredible versatility in effects routing.

The included nine-button foot controller switches all three channels digitally via MIDI, effects loops and OVER-BOOST functions, as well as Master Reverb and Master Boost, which is a second Master Volume control that can be used to boost the overall volume of the amp.

The Budda MN-100 also features a half-power switch for operating the amplifier in either 60- or 120-watt mode. The back panel features an amplifier chain section with power-amp inputs and a slave output, impedance selector and MIDI input and output for use in MIDI-switching rigs. The matching MN-412 enclosure features four Budda Phat 12 loudspeakers and luxurious Mark Nason leather covering.

In a unique convergence of modern precision and old-world artistry, this multi-faceted, innovative amplifier found its aesthetic equal in the custom Italian leathers, signature embellishments and metalwork of renowned footwear designer Mark Nason. No stranger to the rock & roll lifestyle, Mark Nason’s signature couture creations stride easily from Sunset Strip to centre stage on the Budda MN-100 and MN-412. For those who crave both tone and luxury, the MN-100 is simply the best amplifier money can buy.

Budda amplifiers are played by Tomo Mili?evi? (30 Seconds to Mars), Alex Skolnick, Leslie West (Mountain), Mark Sheehan (The Script), Michael Barrett and Mansur Zennelli (Closure in Moscow), Lillian Berlin and Cory Becker (Living Things) and Davy Knowles.
