The Muddy Buddy has beautiful textured and pure cleans making a smooth transition through a wide range of
overdrive and distortion tones peaking into raw 60s style fuzz tones.

The small diameter speaker and low output is perfect for microphones in the recording studio.
Higher impedance Ribbon mics can now be used for beautiful natural guitar sounds.
The mic can pick up more detail without being overloaded by the low frequencies and higher output of larger speakers.




Head version - custom solid woods and colors available




Chassis only version



This little amplifier is an unbelievable powerful recording tool.
The Line out can be used as a quasi overdrive pedal or to go directly into a mixer or recorder.
The sound and response from the genuine power tube section with it's super hi-quality output transformer
leaves typical battery powered distortion pedals behind.
Away with fuzzy unnatural toy-like character - welcome natural and musical even-order harmonic single-ended power tube overdrive.
The 8 ohm speaker output can also drive larger speaker cabinets.


Custom wood cabinets and colors available.


Eastern White Pine
Curly Maple
Quilted Maple
Walnut



As with all Siegmund Amplifiers, speakers are installed already 'broken in'.

Muddy Buddy reviews on Harmony-Central



Hi Chris,

I received the amp yesterday evening. It is literally a piece of art.
The quality is outstanding and it makes it an incredible bargain.
You could easily charge twice for this amp given the build and sound quality.
I love the sound, this is exactly what I was looking for as a practice amp. I has amazing sustain at low volume.
It is also very quiet for a tube amp. I have not had time to explore all the possibilities but I am quite thrilled.

Thanks,
Michel Cekleov
