Features
A Cutting-Edge Classic
The old amps that dened electric
guitar tone were often single-channel
amps. These amps oer that same vintage
clean, but add a second channel for modern
high-gain tones. To begin, take your pick
of the Bright or Normal inputs, then twist
the three-band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble) and
Presence control to sculpt your signature
sound. Depending on which channel you
choose, three 12AX7 preamp tubes take
your tone anywhere from dignied blues to
garage-leveling madness.
The V55 and V55HD’s power stage’s
dual 6L6 valves propel this tone through
a BUGERA 12" speaker. Need to feed more
speakers? Both amps have an Impedence
switch that toggles between 4, 8 and 16 Ohms,
making them compatible with virtually any
speaker cabinet.
These amps also have reverb, but in
the interest of tone and durability, their
reverb is derived from a studio-caliber
digital processor. The spring reverb found
in their post-war predecessors sound lovely,
but they’re delicate and expensive to repair.
The V55’s modern update gives you an equally
mesmerizing vintage reverb sound without
the wallet-draining vintage reliability.
And if all these features weren’t enough…
you also get a road-tough footswitch that
allows you to select channels and activate/kill
the reverb remotely. So whether you’re in the
studio, rehearsing in the garage or pulling
into Champagne-Urbana for a gig that pays
two pitchers, the V55 and V55HD are able to
complement your craft with the gold-standard
tones of the past—today!
