    • Supersound 1972

        Dark and doomy, the Supersound is right at home churning out early Sabbath-style ethereal drones.

    • Marvel

        The Marvel is an all-rounder, capable of crystaline cleans and thundrous British crunch!

    • Quarter

        Pure, classic clean tones and fantastic mild break-up, the Quarter is a bluesman’s dream!

    • Honken

        The Honken kicks out Classic British tone, fantastic for sweet, glassy cleans and great crunch!

    …And one that you can make yourself!

    Our ‘Frankenamp’ technology allows you to select the parts from any of the other heads and mix and match them for a sound all your own…

    You like the bass from the Marvel head? Add its bass knob.
