What these features mean for your playing

• Two EL34 power tubes: EL34 tubes are widely associated with a punchy, midrange-rich tone and are a classic choice for rock and blues amplifiers.
• 45 watts: a tube head in this power range is typically used for rehearsal, studio and stage playing, depending on the speaker cabinet and the room.
• Master Volume: lets you set the overall output level separately from the gain, so you can shape your sound at a more manageable volume.
• Footswitchable Lo-Hi Gain: switch between two gain levels with a footswitch while playing, for example to move from rhythm to lead.
• Effects Loop: lets you place time-based effects such as delay and reverb after the preamp stage of the amplifier.
