Guitar Amplifiers – Leadmusic https://leadmusic.com/en Thu, 28 May 2026 07:13:01 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.17 EVH 5150III 50watts EL34 Head & 2×12” Cabinet mini stack https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/evh-5150iii-50watts-el34-head-2x12-cabinet-mini-stack/ Thu, 28 May 2026 07:10:23 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=41344 Alright, are we here to destroy the front row or not? Are we gonna lock eyes with the drummer and make him understand he’s about to suffer or not? Cool, because if that’s the plan, this little monster is the perfect antidote to bring back bite, grit and a seriously welcome dose of power to your rehearsal room and the stage alike. What an absolute beast of an amp!!!

The EL34 power tubes deliver a more dynamic compression and saturation, evoking a more modern “British” tone while retaining the sustain and versatility expected from EVH 5150III amps. Channel one offers a more open and compressed clean tone, while channels two and three provide a slightly darker and more compressed voice with even more gain than before. Channels one and two each feature concentric dual gain/volume controls with shared EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble), while channel three has its own independent EQ section. Additional features include a rear-panel resonance control that fine-tunes the low-frequency response across all channels, along with a global presence control.

The amp is also equipped with seven JJ ECC83 preamp tubes, a pair of EL34 power tubes and switchable output impedance (4, 8 and 16 ohms). All BIAS controls are accessible from outside the chassis, making the little beast incredibly practical on tour should you ever blow a tube.

And when it comes to the cab, this super high-quality 2×12” cabinet delivers an absolutely insane sound for a ridiculously tiny price, awesome… Yes, I really used the word “tiny” in a product description, but don’t get the wrong idea: it definitely does not apply to the sound of this thing, because sonically, this 212 absolutely crushes. Loaded with 2×12” Celestion Heritage30 speakers, the little monster’s 60 watts, mounted on casters, hit unbelievably hard. On top of that, it can be tilted back thanks to its tilt-back legs (the French translation sounds so ridiculous I’m skipping it…) allowing you to aim the sound straight at your face, the front row, or if you prefer, your family, your friends… or your partner’s exes.

Leadmusic is proud to contribute to the premature hearing loss of your enemies and offers this mini stack at a very special price, leaving you enough budget to grab plenty of beers afterward…

Henriksen The Bud Six Combo https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/henriksen-the-bud-six-combo/ Fri, 08 May 2026 13:21:57 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=41275 In 2013, Henriksen launched the JazzAmp because Bud Henriksen could not find anything on the market that sounded like what he believed a jazz amplifier should sound like. A few versions and thousands of satisfied musicians later, the brand decided it was time to reinvent the concept by bringing in twelve years of experience and expertise to design the JazzAmp of the next decade.

Weighing just over 6 kg, the new Bud SIX is without question the most compact guitar amplifier truly suited for the stage, offering unmatched sound quality. Its dimensions of 23 x 23 x 23 cm and its 120 watt power will surprise you with both volume and tonal richness, whether for electric guitar, acoustic guitar or any other string instrument equipped with a pickup. Thanks to its many features, it adapts to almost any type of performance and is an essential tool for any demanding musician.

Do you want a toaster sized amplifier that delivers studio level sound quality for electric and acoustic instruments with enough volume to cover almost any gig? Of course you do. That is why if you play guitar or any string instrument with a pickup, you need a Bud. The Bud has all the functions you need and far more than enough volume for your bandmates or club manager to ask you to turn down, and when paired with the extension cabinet you can easily compete with a very loud drummer. The amplifier and cabinet are naturally resistant to feedback, which reduces the need for artificial filtering and other suppression technologies that negatively affect your tone.

But it is not only about size and volume, there are many small powerful amplifiers on the market. You have tried them. You know how they sound. The Bud is different. Henriksen Amplifiers puts tone first, and the incredibly portable size and features of the Bud were developed around the sound, not the other way around, and you can clearly hear the difference. Our preamp, from input to output, is designed with high quality audio components. We offer a five band equalizer with carefully chosen center frequencies that were tuned by ear to meet the demands of different playing environments using the widest possible range of musical instruments. We provide two identical preamps, each with independent equalization and reverb as well as true forty eight volt phantom power and an auxiliary input on each channel so that whatever you are using can be equalized separately from your instrument signal.

1965 VOX AC30 non Top Boost https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/1965-vox-ac30-non-top-boost/ Wed, 06 May 2026 06:12:53 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=39105 A piece of British history with a distinctive Swiss touch: here is a 1965 VOX AC30 B, non–Top Boost, fully serviced and prepared in early 2025 by Mamutech in Zurich. This particular amp once belonged to Paul Sutin, a respected producer and musician, who acquired it in the 1990s from a technician at Abbey Road Studios in London during a sale of equipment from major British recording studios. While it’s impossible to know who played through this amp before Paul owned it, we do know it went on to enjoy a second life at Dinemec Studios and Paul Sutin Productions, where it was used by artists such as Steve Howe, Daryl Stuermer, and Alan Parsons. Needless to say, it has been part of some memorable sessions.

Over the years, the amp has undergone a few modifications and repairs. It is now fitted with two Vox-labeled Celestion Ceramic G12H 30W speakers from 1967, and several capacitors have been replaced, with date codes ranging from 1966 to 1984. The tolex covering appears to date from the 1970s. Full details of the 2025 servicing work are available. A “B” marking inside the chassis, along with its five preamp tubes, grey control panel (rather than copper), and serial number in the 7000 range, all indicate that this is indeed a 1965 AC30 B (Bass version).

The amp comes with a certificate signed by Paul Sutin confirming its provenance. A true collector’s piece, rich in character, history, and tone that still resonates today.

GR Bass GR One 800 compact head https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/gr-bass-gr-one-800-compact-head/ Tue, 14 Apr 2026 15:09:48 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=41090 Lightweight, portable but powerful, the GR ONE series will surprise you with its quality and incredible power. The ONE series takes up and perfects the philosophy of PURE SOUND, a fundamental characteristic of GR products. A 4-band equalizer will allow you to sculpt the sound according to your needs but that’s not all: you can choose 6 frequencies for the mids, and the deep and bright filters will allow you to add punch and / or definition to the equalization.

Through the “PURE” switch you can exclude filters and equalizer and have a completely flat sound to be combined if necessary with an external equalizer, a very useful function when using different instruments in a concert. The 24-LED V Meter in 6 different modes (can also be excluded if necessary) also associates an extremely precise tuner mode, always active in “Mute” mode or activated during normal use, choosing it from the six available LED modes. The Aux-In allows you to connect an external sound source (Tablet, Smartphone) and the headphone output with separate volume control, it also allows an independent monitoring system. The D.I. of the GR ONE, recognized as one of the best, is perfect for use in professional contexts both live and in the studio.

Victory PowerValve 200 Compact Power Amp https://leadmusic.com/en/produit/victory-powervalve-200-compact-power-amp/ Tue, 10 Mar 2026 10:24:11 +0000 https://leadmusic.com/?post_type=produit&p=40537 The PowerValve 200 is a compact 200-watt power amplifier featuring Victory’s renowned valve technology. Designed to unlock truly authentic live tone, it offers digital users the missing link between modern modelling and the unmistakable feel of a real valve amp.

The growing popularity of digital gear has allowed guitarists to significantly reduce the size of their rigs while gaining instant access to a vast range of tones. Yet, even the most advanced digital systems still miss two essential elements: the organic feel of a valve amplifier and its natural interaction with a real speaker cabinet in a live environment.

The rise of FRFR speaker cabinets proves that many players prioritize convenience over authenticity. With the PowerValve 200, however, we believe we’ve finally bridged the gap between the digital and analogue worlds. Our goal was simple: create the ultimate companion for modeller, preamp and pedalboard users, enabling them to add the rich valve tone Victory is famous for — and once again drive a real guitar cabinet.

Using the PowerValve 200 couldn’t be simpler. Connect the output of your modeller, preamp or pedalboard via a 1/4” jack cable to the balanced input of the PowerValve. Adjust your input level and EQ, engage the valve signal path, and connect your favorite guitar speaker cabinet. Instantly experience your guitar tone the way it was meant to be heard — powerful, dynamic and alive.

At the heart of the PowerValve 200 lies the VRC (Valve React Circuit), which activates an EF91 (CV4014) valve. This feature instantly enriches your sound with greater warmth, depth, harmonic richness and touch sensitivity. While this valve circuit is our recommended mode of operation, it can also be bypassed via the front-panel switch for players who prefer a more linear, transistor-based signal path.

The front panel offers a straightforward 3-band EQ (Resonance, Body, Presence) for precise tone shaping. The detented controls allow quick return to the neutral position — when set halfway, the EQ is effectively bypassed.

A balanced input ensures the balanced output of your modeller can be fully utilized. An input level control combined with an LED indicator provides precise monitoring and optimal signal management.

The main speaker output supports 4Ω (200W), 8Ω (100W), and 16Ω (50W) cabinets. The unit also features a dedicated 3.5mm headphone output and an analogue Cab Sim via XLR, making it perfect for recording or sending directly to a mixing desk. The Cab Sim can be switched on or off from the front panel, and the headphone level can be adjusted independently from the main output.

Extensive testing was carried out using a range of modellers paired with several speaker cabinets from our own catalogue. We then compared the results against leading FRFR cabinets. The difference was clear: the PowerValve 200 delivers the rich harmonics, dynamic response, and natural feedback that are often missing from modern digital setups.

While it will power any of our speaker cabinets, we particularly recommend pairing it with the Victory Lunchbox Speaker Cabinet Series, whose compact size and performance make it the perfect partner for the PowerValve 200.

Designed to integrate perfectly with modern rigs, the PowerValve 200 measures 130mm x 300mm x 295mm, weighs just 2.4 kg, and is housed in durable, road-ready zinc-plated mild steel.

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.
