The Mesa Boogie Stiletto Ace is a 50-watt amplifier that gives you a wide range of Class A/B tone. The Stiletto Ace uses five 12AX7 Pre-Amp tubes, two EL34 Power Tubes, and one 5U4 Rectifier Tube, so you know you’ll get that popular British sound, but the amp will also give you amazing clean sounds. The Ace is available as a head, 1×12 Combo, and 2×12 Combo. The combos have a closed back, are fan cooled, and come standard with one or two 12-inch V30 speakers.

Orange has created a two-channel 30-watt amplifier that has a lot of bite. The AD30HTC has been wired with four 12AX7 Pre-Amp tubes, four EL84 Power Tubes, and one GZ34 Rectifier Tube. This Class A amplifier has two dual-stage channels with entirely separate signal paths, making channel switching easier. The range of tones accessible through the Orange AD30HTC makes this a great amp for any guitarist, no matter the genre.

If you are looking for a solid, rock and roll amplifier, Marshall’s JCM800 2204 is for you! This 50-watt amp is very simple, but gives you a rock sound like you wouldn’t believe. It has only one channel, but its 3-band EQ, Presence control, and Pre-Amp Volume control allow you to dial in to your preferred rock tone.

Hughes and Kettner has created a monster of an amp, the TriAmp MKII, and it can play about any genre of music. This six (yes, six) channel amplifier has 100 watts of power, and runs off of thirteen tubes: nine 12AX7 Pre-Amp tubes, and four EL34 Power tubes. Although EL34 tubes are typically used to get that sought-after British sound, this amp will play anything from super-clean “Vintage Californian” tones to crazy, harsh metal tones.
