Key Features & Benefits

High‑Power Tube Head with Flexibility
The 100 W tube output powered by 6L6 tubes delivers enough volume and headroom for full-band gigs or loud rehearsals. At the same time, the design ensures the amp remains expressive and dynamic — maintaining rich tube character whether clean or heavily overdriven.

Wide Tonal Palette for Many Styles
From pristine cleans to sizzling crunchy rhythms to saturated leads — the multiple channels and voice modes give you versatility across blues, classic rock, hard rock, metal, and more. You can easily switch channels depending on the style or song.

Tone Customisation and Performance Tools
With controls like Presence, Resonance, master volume and full EQ, you get nuanced tonal shaping. This helps you dial in your desired character — tight and modern, or warm and vintage — depending on guitar, pedals, or mix.

Recording / Live‑Ready Connectivity
The effects loop, speaker‑emulated output (for direct recording or PA), and MIDI switching make this head suitable for studio sessions as well as live performance. Whether you’re using pedals or going direct — it fits well into modern rigs.
