Musicians are very cool. Musicians smoke. They also use equipment called amps. These three undeniable truths of rock have been fused together by a former custom amp designer at guitar legends Fender in the form of the very cool Smokey Amp. It's a high-performing amp - for its size - housed in a used cigarette pack. A perfect box, mind you, no phone numbers or torn corners.

A lifetime's appreciation of surgically enhanced models may or may not have induced the makers to inject silicone into the boxes as reinforcement, but it works great. One square battery will give you about ten hours of playing time, and there's a 0.5w output from the built-in speaker. Of course, you're not going to play Madison Square Garden with one, but a Marshall stack doesn't fit in your pocket, does it?

A triumph of recycling and lo-fi design, several top bands have used the Smokey. Because it's pure genius. Turn the volume way up and it's a makeshift fuzzbox. But one crucial question remains. Who smoked all the cigs?

Made from lovingly recycled cigarette packets, Smokey Amps come in a variety of brands. Although they are not affiliated with, sponsored or authorized by any cigarette company, unlike their previous contents, these packs will not cause cancer, emphysema, or lower the birth rate.
