The ZT Lunchbox Amp is a compact and extremely portable guitar amp that still manages to produce a great sound. In the video review below, Guy Fenocchi will show you the control knobs, inputs, and outputs on the top and front panels of the amp. We’ll take a brief look at the handy carrying case and then show you the Lunchbox amp in action. We’ll demonstrate the amp using a microphone, direct out to a board, and using both of those techniques together. In the video, Guy is soloing over the backing track 6/8 Blues in D from the Let’s Jam! Jazz & Blues.

ZT Lunchbox Amp Top Panel
The sturdy handle is just another aspect increasing the portability of this amp. The Ambience Control simulates an open back cabinet sound. Which allows you to adjust the fullness of the sound. The Tone Control is very versatile and has a lot of range. The Volume and Gain knobs are a good way to affect the cleanness and power of the tone.
ZT Lunchbox Amp Back Panel
The versatility of the back panel is what really sold Guy on this amp. It works for the studio, home recordings, practice, headphones, etc. The detachable IEC power cable makes everything less bulky and easier to pack and transport. The voltage selector is a useful addition for anyone who is going back and forth between the US and Europe. The Speaker Out and Speaker On/Off switch make it easy to use the Lunchbox as a head for a cabinet. The headphone level and jack provides a variety of options. You can run it straight to a board, recording gear, or headphones. For the last few months on Guy’s video shoots for freeguitarvideos.com we’ve been running from the Lunchbox straight to the board. Guy also used the Lunchbox while recording the Let’s Jam! Jazz Standards tracks. The Auxiliary input can be used to plug in a iPod or similar device so that you can play along with pre-recorded music.
Finally, the carrying bag for the Lunchbox is easy to throw over your shoulder and take with you to practice, a gig, or on vacation. Watch the demo to hear the ZT Lunchbox as Guy puts it through the paces. You can also hear the amp in the jazz solo lesson below. In the video, Guy is using a Gibson 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue Guitar, a ZT Lunchbox Amp, and a Hermida Reverb Pedal.
