The Vox AC30 has been a leader in the amplifier market for decades, thanks to its unique tone and circuit design. Vox decided to take the best parts from the different models of the AC30 and make one amazing amp, resulting in the AC30 Custom Classic. It comes with four EL84 Power Tubes, three 12AX7 Preamp Tubes, and one GZ34 Rectifier Tube. It has two input jacks on the front panel, one for the Top Boost Channel and one for the Normal Channel. An Input Link Switch has been added which allows the channels to be blended, giving you an amazing flexibility with your tone.

Genz Benz’s 100 watt beast earns the name El Diablo. With a wattage output selector, this diverse amp can be played at either 50 or 100 watts, allowing you to get the versatility of two amps in one. The El Diablo’s power tube section as also been designed with tonal diversity in mind. Because every guitarist’s tone preference is different, the El Diablo can be run off of either four EL34, 6L6, or 5881 power tubes. In addition to the four power tubes, the El Diablo runs on three 12AX7 Preamp Tubes.

The Orange Tiny Terror has the size and portability of a practice amp, but the sound and tonal versatility of a full-sized amplifier. Weighing in at just thirteen and a half pounds, the Tiny Terror’s largest physical dimension is barely over a foot long. The power of the Tiny Terror will surprise you just as much as its size. The most this amp will push out is 15 watts of Class A tube power. While this doesn’t sound like much, it’s all you need to practice, record, play a small show. Also, with the flip of a switch, you can make that only 7 watts, making this a great amp for practicing at reduced volumes without compromising your tone.

The Carvin MTS 3200 head was created to be among the best in the industry. In order to attempt this feat, they built an all tube amp with no IC’s or transistors. Five 12AX7 pre-amp tubes and four 5881 (6L6GC) power tubes come standard on the MTS 3200, but an external Bias Switch on the back of the amp allows you to use four EL34 power tubes if that would suit your sound better. The amp has an ultra-high input impedance and precise component layout and lead placement to prevent high frequency loss. At full power the amp runs at 100 watts, but a switch on the back of the amp allows you to run only two tubes for 50 watts of power. This change will only reduce volume by 3 decibels.

Mesa Boogie has been a leader in the guitar amp industry for decades, and their product line just keeps getting better. Their original Dual Rectifier Solo Heads had amazing success, but the sound and versatility just wasn’t good enough for Mesa. They wanted to keep all of the gain found in the Original Rectifier’s two channels, but have a channel dedicated to rhythm sounds. This resulted in the Triple Channel Dual Rectifiers.
