Guitar Amplifiers – Leadmusic https://leadmusic.com/en Wed, 14 Jan 2026 12:49:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.16 Victory MKX Lunch Box Head https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/victory-mkx-lunch-box-head/ Wed, 14 Jan 2026 12:49:10 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=40223 The MKX is Victory’s most advanced lunchbox amplifier ever, delivering exceptionally pure clean tones through to devastating high-gain saturation. Hand-built in England, it redefines what a compact amplifier can achieve. For over twelve years, Victory has built a strong reputation for delivering outstanding tone to guitarists through numerous successful ranges, from the Duchess to the Kraken, the Copper, the Sheriff, and many more.

In 2024, Victory released Martin Kidd’s ultimate guitar amplifier: the MK Overdrive (MK OD), an amp inspired by some of Martin’s most famous and best-loved original amplifier tones from the past three decades. The MK OD was quickly regarded as one of the best amplifiers ever made by users, artists, and the media alike.

While the MK OD adopted a luxurious, no-compromise design approach with extensive visual customisation options, the MKX captures its heart and soul in a more compact format and at a more competitive price. Still manufactured in the UK to the high standards associated with all Victory products, it is designed and priced for professional musicians around the world. Featuring three channels – Clean, OD1, and OD2 – with independent gain, volume, and EQ sections, two master volumes, and two different reverb types, each with level and decay controls, we have packed as many features as possible into a 50-watt all-valve lunchbox head.

Drawing inspiration from all of the above while adding new features to give the MKX its own identity, this amplifier is the culmination of many years of development and expertise from the Victory team, and without doubt the most versatile Victory Lunchbox amplifier to date. It covers every clean tone you could want: a bright, shimmering clean sound with its own EQ, gain, and level controls. Ideal for funk, articulate chord work, jazz, and much more… At higher gain settings, you’ll achieve classic edge-of-breakup tones. With separate Clean and Overdrive channels, the overdrive channel offers two gain modes: Gain 1 for crunch and rhythm sounds, and Gain 2 for rich, fully saturated overdrive.

Expect solos with instant sustain and the heaviest riffs without sacrificing tone or definition—standard tuning, drop tuning, or anything else you care to throw at it. The OD2 channel has its own gain control and shares the EQ section and level control with the OD1 channel. The MKX is fitted with 3 ECC83 preamp valves and 2 EL34 power valves. Need a versatile output stage? Or a volume boost on any of the three channels? That’s covered thanks to the two master volumes, switchable via the included footswitch.

We knew that one type of reverb wouldn’t be enough for our new flagship model, so we included two. Reverb I is a vintage-style spring reverb, perfect for authentic tones. Reverb II is a modern reverb inspired by the Deputy, ranging from subtle ambience to full, shimmering immersion. Each reverb type features level and decay controls, allowing for the ultimate balance of ambience and versatility. As with all Victory Lunchbox heads, the switchable output allows you to choose between different power levels and character: for the MKX, high output delivers 50 watts RMS, while low output delivers 9 watts RMS.

Henriksen The Blue Ten Combo https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/henriksen-the-blue-ten-combo/ Wed, 29 Oct 2025 07:28:12 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=39472 This design incorporates over 12 years of ideas, experiences and customer feedback. The Blu TEN is high quality, high fidelity solid state, plug and play guitar amplifier with best in class tone and portability. At only 20 lbs and 120 watts and all the features you need for gigs, you’ve never heard your guitar sound so good!

12 years ago we released the JazzAmp because Bud Henriksen couldn’t find anything on the market that sounded the way he thought a jazz guitar amplifier should sound. A few versions and thousands of very satisfied customers later, we felt it was time to apply 12 years worth of experience and understanding and re-imagine a new JazzAmp for the next decade.

A single channel design with a Wireless aux input, The Blu TEN has a 10″ speaker and a defeatable tweeter, combo 1/4″ input jack with phantom powered mic input, 5-band EQ, reverb, line out, ext. speaker out, headphone out and FX loop. The Ten is 120 watts and is 10″ deep by 14″ wide by 14″ tall and only 20 lbs. It’s similar in size to earlier JazzAmp 10″ combos, but a little deeper with a sealed amplifier chamber for better low end response and a cleaner sound.

This killer compact amp comes with its carrying pretective bag.

EVH 5150 Iconic Series EL34 15-watt 1×10” Tube Combo https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/evh-5150-iconic-series-el34-15-watt-1x10-tube-combo/ Sun, 24 Aug 2025 14:31:06 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=38958 The EVH® 5150® Iconic® Series is built for guitarists who want that killer EVH tube tone for gigs or recording, but without draining the bank account. Inspired by the legendary EVH 5150III® amps, the Iconic Series dishes out the signature sound and snarling gain that made Eddie Van Halen a legend.

Designed by amp guru James Brown, the 5150® Iconic® 15-watt 1×10 combo packs serious punch with an EL34 power tube and a multi-stage hybrid preamp driven by a pair of ECC83s. Translation: everything you need from sparkling cleans to crushing modern gain. The cab is built from MDF with internal plywood baffles for tighter low end, and it’s loaded with a custom Celestion® 10” speaker voiced perfectly for this circuit. End result? Cleans stay crisp, high gain stays tight, articulate, and heavy.

Channel setup keeps it simple but versatile:

  • The Green channel has an Overdrive button to take you from clean to gritty crunch.

  • The Red channel has a Burn button for extra bite—perfect for screaming leads.

Each channel has its own Gain and Volume, so you can balance your levels when switching. Add in a shared 3-band EQ, global Resonance and Presence knobs to fine-tune the lows and highs, plus a global Reverb to give your tone just the right amount of space.

And yeah, the features list is stacked: a one-button footswitch, effects loop, dual speaker outs, a ¼ power switch (so you can crank it without your neighbors plotting against you), and a speaker-emulated DI out for direct recording or running straight to the PA with that all-tube EVH vibe.

Looks? Totally EVH. Black textured vinyl wrap, black cloth grille, gold-and-black 5150 and EVH logos, a brushed gold anodized aluminum control panel, vintage-style chicken-head knobs, and a solid black handle. Stylish, tough, and ready to roar.

Zuta LA25 Tube Amp https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/zuta-la25-tube-amp/ Tue, 10 Dec 2024 20:31:10 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=37855 What a little marvel!!! The Zuta LA25 was the first amp produced by Zuta, at the time when their relationship with Bogner, struggling, decided Baskim Zuta to create his own brand. The Zuta LA25, the first product to be created from the new Helios Electron factory, has benefited, as the first product from the brand new factory, from extremely hard work and care and development to ensure the new Zuta Group brand that the LA25 was going to have an impact on the market. It was the most difficult thing to achieve, but it gave the brand so much pride and confidence, as the product was so accomplished and successful. Because this amp is a little marvel, and we repeat. A marvel!!! Have I already told you?

The Zuta LA25 is both an extremely versatile and compact amp with sounds ranging from clean to jazz to hard rock and metal. Depending on the guitar and mic feeding the input jack, the sound produced will differ significantly. And its weight of only 8 kg makes it ideal to take as hand luggage on any flight, bus, car or train when you travel. The pure power of a pair of Sovtek EL84 QUAD-Matched tubes packed into this compact little monster lets you use it in any situation. You can also use it in the studio and record both the microphone signal and the virtual mic signal. And it can work without plugged-in speakers, the famous Load, because it has an integrated reactive load. These features are ideal when you don’t want to use a speaker, but still want to run the amp hot enough to hit its sweet spot, directly into a DAW or mixer in an Arena. After the show, you can take it to your hotel room and record new song ideas without disturbing the neighbors.

3 channels, an integrated boost and an effects loop, all controllable by the included footswitch, 8 kilos and a Virtual Microphone and Speaker Cab simulator, all this made in Sweden with the most efficient and high-end components of the moment, it’s definitely going to make you forget the hegemony of certain American brands, really. What a little wonder, hey, have I already told you?

Zuta GBG120 Tube Amp https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/zuta-gbg120-tube-amp/ Tue, 10 Dec 2024 20:04:55 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=37846 What a killer amp !!!  I might stupidly stop my description here, as this amp is so killer… Come on, we’re not going to die with a description of this impressive all-tube amp. The Zuta GBG120 is the spearhead of the Swedish brand Zuta and is a fully analog tube amp mounted in a 19″ rack, with only 3 rack units high. It is only 20cm deep and delivers 120watts of power. The Zuta GBG120 does it all, really, and takes you from the 1950s to the 2050s in a flash!

With its ultra-compact design, the GBG120 features 4 channels, each with separate gain, volume and EQ controls, as well as multiple console-style mode switches illuminated in different colors so you have a visual of your setup in any environment. You’ll be able to dial in the exact sound you’re looking for in no time and be sure that your sound will be as clean, sweet, sweet, delicate, funky, bubbly, crunchy, rock, powerful, expressive and aggressive as you are, because yes, The GBG120 covers all sound registers and is super responsive and organic. Zuta Group has worked extremely hard not to sacrifice clean sound at the expense of ultra high gain capabilities. This was only made possible by the implementation of four different preamp topologies all working together inside this amp.

Unlike other amplifiers that can take up a lot of valuable space on stage or in the studio, the GBG120’s design makes it the perfect choice for any musician who needs a powerful, versatile amplifier that won’t take up too much space. But the Zuta GBG120 isn’t just compact: it’s also packed with features that will blow your mind. With a solo section for added versatility active on all 4 channels and a built-in, channel-assignable Noise Gate to help you achieve the perfect noise-free sound, this amplifier is unlike anything you’ve ever played before. And with series and parallel loop options, you can easily integrate your favorite pedals and effects into your setup. Let’s not forget the tubes – with 12AX7 tubes in the preamp section, and KT88, KT77, 6550, 6L6 and EL34 tubes in any combination in the power amp section. You can get that rich, warm, dynamic sound that only comes from tube amplifiers. And with these “Beyond Boutique” quality amps, you can be confident that this amplifier was built to last and to deliver the performance you expect and need in the most critical situations, like on a live stage or during a studio session for your next track.

And most importantly, the sound… Well, it’s simple, there are no words to explain the quality and versatility of the GBG120. Both in clean and in overdrive or in enormous saturations, the GBG120 is dynamic, defined, rich in harmonics and delivers a natural attack and compression which do not lie about their origins: the tubes. This amp delivers the best of all tube amp worlds and can boast one of the most fantastic and broad sound spectrums heard in a tube amp. So when in addition, the amp in question is compact, relatively light and with unprecedented value for money, it’s really a killer amp !!!

EVH 5150® Iconic® Series EL34 40W 1×12 Combo https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/evh-5150-iconic-series-el34-40w-1x12-combo/ Wed, 11 Sep 2024 10:22:43 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=37118 The 5150 Iconic Series combo delivers two channels of tube-infused, EVH-style tone with a streamlined design that satisfies the needs of gigging and recording guitarists alike. This tube amp combo covers the full gamut of Edward Van Halen’s contemporary hard rock tones, with an extra voicing on each channel for added versatility. There’s plenty of sound shaping onboard, with per-channel Gain and Volume, a shared 3-band EQ, and global Resonance and Presence controls. What’s more, this amp’s custom-designed EVH Celestion speaker and tailor-built cabinet produce pristine cleans and articulate high-gain tones with ample low-end response. The 5150 Iconic Series combo also includes a top-shelf noise gate, footswitchable Boost function, and high-quality reverb to ensure a dynamic performance and U.S.-prime, grade-A-stamped sound. Other features include a power reduction circuit, speaker-emulated output, dual parallel speaker outputs, selectable impedance, and an excellent-sounding effects loop. If you’re craving EVH’s latter-day sound, the 5150 Iconic Series combo delivers the searing tone and growling gain that King Edward made famous.

The 5150 Iconic Series combo is voiced with two JJ ECC83S preamp tubes and fueled by two JJ EL34 power tubes, arming you with two channels of muscular hard rock firepower. Each of this tube amp combo’s channels includes two voices: a Green channel for crystalline cleans or overdriven crunch; and a Red channel for fiery leads with a blistering-hot Burn setting. Each channel includes independent Gain and Volume controls for easy level matching, along with a shared 3-band EQ for effortless sonic sculpting. Global Resonance and Presence knobs round out the 5150 Iconic Series combo’s tone-shaping controls.

Despite its streamlined design, the EVH 5150 Iconic Series combo is a gig-ready rock machine. Channel two includes a built-in noise gate, which effectively — and transparently — attenuates hiss and hum. We were impressed by this gate’s responsiveness. You can churn out rapid staccato riffs all day long with zero noise between notes, and you can play long, sustaining passages without chopped-off notes. Channel two boasts a footswitchable Boost function that adds another 10dB to your signal to keep your solos front and center. The 5150 Iconic Series combo features a smooth-sounding reverb, which injects your playing with depth and dimension. You get a power reduction circuit for stadium-sized tones at bedroom-appropriate volumes, a speaker-emulated output for easy DI-ing, and dual parallel speaker outputs for no-fuss expansion. You also get a high-quality effects loop for integrating your pedalboard and outboard processors — an essential if you want to incorporate Eddie’s distinctive pitch-shifting effect into your tonal palette.
