The 'JamStack' is a small, [compact guitar amplifier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fiio-snowsky-tiny) that enables musicians to start playing without the need for a large traditional amp. The 'JamStack' enables guitar players to access a [virtually unlimited supply of effects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratus) that can be accessed easily without needing to purchase additional exterior equipment.

Electric guitar players always have to carry around an amplifier with them in order to partake in a little playing. The 'JamStack,' however, changes this with a compact design that fits conveniently onto the bottom of a guitar. The device completely reinvents the guitar amplifier to make it a piece of equipment that can be carried with your equipment easily rather than lugged around. It features a 10-watt speaker that provides great sound feedback at high and low volume levels.
