Marshall Studio Vintage SV20H<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
A beautiful Marshall<\/strong><\/a> tube head<\/strong> with a preamp<\/strong> based on the classic 1959 SLP (super lead plexi)<\/strong> for that authentic rocking lead sound.\u00a0 One channel (with 4 separate inputs<\/strong>) and five tubes<\/strong> (2x ECC83, 1x ECC83 [Phase Splitter], 2x EL34) make this amp head roar with 20 watts<\/strong> of power (can be reduced to 5W<\/strong>). A DI out<\/strong> and Serial FX loop<\/strong> are the cherry on top that make this classic amp super desirable in 2019.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Revv D20 Amp Head<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
This tube amp head, from the Canadian brand REVV<\/strong><\/a>, is small<\/strong> and lightweight<\/strong> but powerful<\/strong> (switchable<\/strong> from 4W<\/strong> to 20W<\/strong>)!

The head is connectable directly to a mixer, interface or headphones <\/strong>(without use of speaker) and\u00a0<\/strong>gives you all the possibilities you can ask for. Twenty watts<\/strong>, 2x 12AX7 preamp tubes<\/strong> and 2x 6v6 power amp tubes<\/strong> make this and absolute must-have.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hughes&Kettner Black Spirit 200 Combo<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The secret behind the sound of this combo amp is its completely new Bionic Tone Generator<\/strong> technology. Here the complex dynamic processes of classic tube circuitry<\/strong> have been reproduced and optimised with new analog circuitry principles. From this comes the special playing feel<\/strong> as well as the tube-amp quality sound<\/strong>. Four channels (Clean, Crunch, Lead, Ultra) feed this 200 watt<\/strong>\u00a0 amp through its 1 x 12″ Celestion G12H-75 Creamback<\/strong> speaker. You can store up to 128 presets,<\/strong> emulate 8 different speakers<\/strong>, stream playback of music via Bluetooth<\/strong> and so much more.

Line6 Spider V 30 MkII<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This electric guitar modelling combo amp <\/strong>has a 1x 8″ custom full-range speaker & tweeter<\/strong> for the flat-response output needed to emulate various amps<\/strong> (or reproduce music clearly via USB or AUX). \u00a0Thirty watts of power blast the sound of your favourite renowned sound designers (ex. Dan Boul of 65amps) and offer artist and song presets by Bill Kelliher, Josh Smith, Devin Townsend, Dustin Kensrue, Jeff Loomis, Ola Englund, Fluff, Jeff Schroeder, Oz Noy and Vernon Reid. Its full-range speaker mode<\/strong> is ideal for acoustic guitar<\/strong> and jam track playback. <\/strong>Talk about versatility, and all this (and more<\/strong><\/a>) in such a compact amp!<\/p>\n
