Teenage Engineering May Launch Instrument Amplifiers

A new filing with the Federal Communications Commission has revealed an unannounced product from Teenage Engineering, hinting at a potential expansion into the budget instrument amplifier market. The device, identified as the KO-Amp 35, is clearly labeled as part of the company’s mid-range EP family, which currently includes popular products like the KO-II sampler and its Riddim and Medieval variants. While the filing provides only a glimpse, the name strongly suggests a focus on affordable amplification for guitars and other instruments.

Details remain scarce, but the documentation confirms the unit will feature a built-in rechargeable battery and Bluetooth connectivity. A submitted “model difference statement” also indicates the amplifier will likely be available in multiple color options. The provided images, taken from a distance and at an angle, are not highly detailed. They do show what appear to be control knobs set into a concave handle on the top panel, along with a quarter-inch jack visible on the upper rear section.

This discovery aligns with broader expectations that Teenage Engineering is actively working to grow its EP instrument lineup. Earlier leaks, including one for an unannounced mixer alongside the rumored Riddim n’ Ting device, support the idea that several new products are in the pipeline. The emergence of the KO-Amp 35 filing reinforces the company’s apparent strategy to build out a more comprehensive ecosystem of accessible music-making tools.
