The Impact 100 was a 100-watt solid-state head produced by Impact, a smaller regional amplifier brand active primarily in the UK and Australian markets during the 1970s. Its straightforward two-channel design covered clean and overdrive voicings suitable for the working guitar and bass player. The unit was positioned as a budget alternative to the dominant British brands, offering similar power ratings at a lower price point. Build quality was functional rather than exceptional, aimed at the practical demands of the club circuit.
