Switch from Vintage to Modern and your tone journeys through time without the need for a De Lorean full of flux capacitors.

A world away from the Vintage channel’s rugged rock ‘n’ roll tones of yesteryear the ultra-gain of the Modern channel produces phenomenal levels of rich, harmonic drenched pre-amp distortion that smoothly sustains and satisfies whether you’re into Santana or Satan.

You can un-earth the classic British rock amp sounds from any era with minimal exploration including the coveted early EVH tones and brutal 80’s style grind and beyond.

Still controllable from the guitar, superb detail and note definition are retained even with the gain well advanced.

Touch sensitivity with incredible feel are trademarks of the vintage channel, which can deliver really warm clean tones through to biting vintage distortion and all points in between.

By keeping the gain set low with the volume advanced some beautiful US type clean tones are easily within reach, especially when using single coils and the lush sounding spring reverb.

Raise the gain and you are rewarded with the perfect blend of pre and power amp distortion to give stinging rhythm and lead voices controllable from the guitar’s volume and tone controls.

Like all the great vintage amps from the past the superb blues and crunch tones from this channel rely heavily upon the power stage’s unique sonic contribution when really driven hard.
