The first Five Star Prototype is built in a 7.5" x 4.75" x 2.25" Die Cast Chassis that fits in the palm of your hand. It's completely point to point wired with no circuit board and sitting on top of any decent speaker cabinet it will knock your socks off. Volume, Tone, Boost and Bright controls are all that is need to give scorching sustain or articulate full bodied cleans. Don't be fooled by the size, this is a serious tone machine. I'll be building a 1x12 combo version soon with the standard faceplate and aluminum chassis.
