The British Combos capture the brash, treble-rich sound associated with 1960s British rock and pop. The sonic signature of these amps is characterized by their high-end response, yet they are rarely harsh-sounding due to a mellow distortion and smooth compression.
Model | Description |
|---|---|
British Blues Combo | This 2 x 12" combo has a loud, aggressive tone that is cleaner than the British heads, yet delivers rich distorted tones at high gain settings. |
British Combo | A 2 x 12" combo based on early 1960s amps. Perfect for chiming chords and crisp solos. |
Small British Combo | A 1 x 12" combo with half the power of the British Combo, this amp offers a darker, less open tone. |
Boutique British Combo | A 2 x 12" combo that is a modern take on the original 1960s sound. The tone is thicker, with stronger lows and milder highs than the other British Combos. |
Tip: You can often use higher Treble and Presence knob settings with the British Combos than with other amp types. If the British Blues Combo is too clean for your needs, combine it with the Pedalboard Hi Drive stompbox for an aggressive blues tone, or the Candy Fuzz stompbox for a heavy rock tone.
