THE NYMPH
The NYMPH was created to allow players to experience the unique sound of Jimmy’s modified combo at a much lower volume level. It is a small format one watt, all-tube amp that retains the feel, fullness and defined distortion tones of it’s bigger brother.
The NYMPH’s preamp is a modified version of Jimmy’s combo and the power amp is a newly designed all-tube push-pull circuit incorporating pentodes, just like in the bigger amps that fuel the sound of Rock.
Even though the control layout is simple, the range of sound is wide. The clean sound is rich in harmonics but the overdrive is where the NYMPH shines. From mild to deep, the overdrive stays tight and satisfying.
A NOTE FROM JIMMY PAGE
“Immediately after I played ‘Rumble’ at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame show, I went backstage, and you’ve got to understand the headspace I was in. I had just played, and I’d also taken in all the other performances, so all my senses are tuned intensely to the guitar at that moment. And Mitch comes into the dressing room with this tiny little amp, and he says, ‘So, this is the Nymph!’ I thought, ‘Hmm, The Nymph. Right!’
I mean, the idea of it sounded good, a small amp that you can switch from 1-watt to ¼-watt, but is this tiny thing going to be able to handle the [Gibson EDS-1275 SG] Double-Neck? I don’t want to blow it up! I first played through the six-string lower bout and circuit of the guitar, switching between its two double-coil pickups, and tweaking the volume and tone pots to test the Nymph’s response.
I thought, well, this is pretty extraordinary, but hang on: will it really be able to handle the higher output of the 12-string side? And it was incredible how it dealt with it. I said, ‘Eureka for all of us here, because you’ve found that elusive thing, a low-watt amp which reacts perfectly to a guitar and delivers all the tonal qualities you want. Hold on a minute, is this the 1-watt setting?’ And Mitch said, ‘No, Jimmy, that’s actually the ¼-watt mode!’ I mean, I just threw my hands up. I’ve got to tell you, that amplifier, the Nymph, is absolutely extraordinary.” Jimmy Page
Here is a sample of recent quotes from three NYMPH owners.
The amp is fantastic. Wow! Great work there, super clean and neat! I was expecting a volume level more on par with a Champ Amp I owned forty-seven years ago! Wow this thing cranks even in the ¼ watt setting! Beautiful amp, great work and design
- Keith Dinsmore September 2026The amp arrived safe and sound and is incredible.
- Kevin James September 2026Just wanted to say these amps sound great. Clean but also have enough gain without the need Pedals. Perfect for home use and ideas. You’ve really nailed the sound on both the NYMPH and the Standard combo. Easily the best amps I’ve played. It’s one of the best (if not, the best) modern amps available. If you can call it a modern amp as such, as it’s based upon Jimmy Page’s original Supro Amp configuration from when the first two Led Zeppelin albums were produced.
