The combos and utility models in this category are versatile amps that you can use for a wide variety of musical styles.
Model | Description |
|---|---|
Studio Combo | A 1 x 12" combo based on boutique combos of the 1980s and 1990s. These models use multiple gain stages to generate smooth, sustain-heavy distortion and bold, bright, clean sounds. Can deliver a heavier sound when paired with a 4 x 12" cabinet. |
Boutique Retro Combo | A 2 x 12" combo inspired by expensive modern amps that combine the sounds of several 1960s combos. It excels at clean and crunch tones, making it a good choice when you want an old-fashioned flavor but with the crisp highs and defined lows of a modern amplifier. This model has very sensitive tone controls that can deliver countless guitar tones. |
Pawnshop Combo | A 1 x 8" combo based on the inexpensive amps sold in American department stores in the 1960s. Despite their limited features and budget workmanship, these amps are the secret behind the sound of many rock, blues, and punk players. The clean sounds are warm, and distorted sounds are thick, despite the small speaker. |
Transparent Preamp | A preamp stage with no coloration. Note that Transparent Preamp is activated in the Amp pop-up menu, not in the Model pop-up menu. |
Tip: Combine the Pawnshop Combo amp with the Pedalboard Hi Drive or Candy Fuzz stompboxes to emulate hard rock tones of the late 1960s. See Pedalboard distortion pedals.
