This is a one-of-kind, signed art piece and is sealed for durability.

The Ventana Wave Pocket Amp is a compact, portable amplifier crafted in Santa Cruz, California and designed for musicians on the go!

Whether you’re a guitarist, bass player, singer, ukulele player, harmonica virtuoso, violinist, banjo player, or you shred the accordion, the Ventana Wave is perfect for amplifying your sound anytime, anywhere - on your next camping, beach bonfire, surf, or stay-at-home adventure!

Cool Features

  • True Artisanship: Designed and hand-built by master artisan Martijn Stiphout in Santa Cruz, California, the Ventana Wave is a testament to meticulous artisanship.

  • Martijn Stiphout Artisan Maker of the Ventana Wave Pocket Amp

    Reclaimed Brazilian cherry hardwood: The first series of the Ventana Wave is crafted from floorboard offcuts from a remodel project in Corralitos, California. Brazilian cherry has a Janka hardness rating of 2350, making it highly durable.

  • Adjustable Gain/Amplification: Adjust the volume on your instrument to change the gain to your liking. Lower volume creates a cleaner sound; higher volume produces a more distorted or overdriven punk/metal sound.

  • Hand-Assembled and Finished: Each amp is lovingly assembled in our workshop and quality checked before shipment, ensuring you receive nothing but the best. Ventana Waves are lightly finished with Osmo Polyx®-Oil that has a base of natural vegetable oils and waxes.

  • Exacting Specifications: Created individually using a CNC router and laser, every Ventana Wave meets precise standards. 

  • Embedded On/Off Power Switch: Plug in the included cable, and you're ready to play. Unplug the cable, and the amp turns off automatically to conserve the battery. 

  • Custom Speaker Grill: Add an artistic flair to your amp with a speaker grill designed by talented, Atlanta-based line-art illustrator Drew Graves (AKA Werd). Purchase the amp with the matching organic cotton pocket tee and save!

  • 1/4-inch Amp Cable Port: Connect any electric instrument easily with the standard 1/4-inch (6.3mm) cable port.

  • German-made Visaton Speaker: 8 Ohm metal basket speaker with mylar diaphragm for durability - 2-Watt rated power; 3-Watt maximum power

  • Replaceable Battery: Never miss a beat with an easily replaceable standard 9V battery (Duracell® Procell battery included).

Free Bonus Items

  • FREE Custom Engraving: Make it yours with free, custom name or gift message engraving on the front. 

  • FREE 1/4-inch Amp Cable: Each amp comes with a free 6-foot cable for easy connectivity. Keep it organized with the free VELCRO® brand cable tie.

  • FREE Organic Cotton Cinch Sack: Use the organic cotton cinch sack silkscreened with the Ventana Treefish logo to protect your Wave in style.

  • FREE Ventana Key Chain: This little beauty is made from Ventana Khordz Mugs offcuts and Honduran mahogany from Santa Cruz Guitar Company. It’s a testament to upcycling and a great leash cord if you’re a surfer.

  • FREE Guitar Picks: Strum away with three free picks cut from expired credit cards, hotel key cards, and other sources diverted from the landfill.

  • FREE Speaker Grill and Logo Stickers: We’ll include a 3" sticker that matches the Drew Graves speaker grill and one that sports the Ventana Treefish logo.
