Pignose Joins the Army in Iraq

With the help of the Charlie Daniels Band, Pignose has made itıs mark in Iraq. Recently, the CDB traveled more than 16,000 miles and performed up to 3 shows per day for American troops deployed in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq and Germany. Pignose portable amps were an important part of the bandıs traveling rig.

CDB guitarist Bruce Brown donated musical equipment, including his Pignose HOG-20 amp, to soldiers stationed in Iraq. Brown and the band are now coordinating plans to organize more shipments of musical instruments to American soldiers in the field.

Pignose's rugged, rechargeable, and portable HOG-20 amplifier packs 20 watts of power into a small compartment. It features volume, tone and "squeal" overdrive/distortion controls, as well as 1/4" input and headphone out jacks. It is the ideal amp for a wide variety of electricity-free, outdoor and other activities, and is built to last ­ even to withstand the rigors of traveling with the Army.

"I wish that all Americans could spend just one day among the brave men and women who defend this country in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Daniels. "They live in constant danger in dusty, desolate desert camps, wearing body armor in sweltering weather, missing their loved ones. My trip only re-enforced what I already knew, the American forces are the finest in the world. I can't even articulate my love and admiration for them."
