FEATURED REVIEWS

Great amp! The best.

By CHEOL H.

Excellent amp & excellent service! Very satisfied!!

Find the epitome of tonal excellence and versatility with the GrandMeister Deluxe 40, a 40W all-tube guitar amplifier head that is a powerhouse of sound and innovation. This professional-grade amp head is designed for guitarists who demand a powerful, high-quality, and durable setup that can deliver a wide range of sounds, from pristine cleans to heavy distortion.

The GrandMeister Deluxe 40 is a marvel of modern amp design, offering a seamless blend of classic all-tube tones with cutting-edge technology. With Deluxe Tone Technology, inspired by our flagship TriAmp Mark 3, you can access an array of iconic guitar sounds. Experience everything from shimmering vintage cleans to the throaty crunch, robust brown sound, and the intense gain that metal and rock players crave.

This 4-channel amplifier head is a testament to versatility, featuring Clean, Crunch, Lead, and Ultra channels that can be fine-tuned with precision EQ and gain controls. The integrated Boost function on each channel elevates specific frequencies, allowing you to tailor your tone to snappy, creamy, or beefy outputs.

The GrandMeister Deluxe 40 goes beyond mere amplification with its studio-quality onboard effects. Layer your sound with lush reverb, crisp delay, and a selection of modulation effects, including chorus, flanger, phaser, and tremolo, to elevate your music to new heights.

One of the standout features of this amp head is its ability to save and recall settings with the touch of a button. The optional FSM-432 MK III MIDI board expands this functionality, enabling you to store up to 128 presets and recall them effortlessly. The Smart Rotary Control technology ensures that the amp's interface remains intuitive, with fewer pots required for operation.

Recording guitarists will appreciate the built-in Red Box AE, the latest iteration of our award-winning DI box with speaker emulation. This feature allows you to capture amazing all-tube tones directly, without the need for a microphone, making it perfect for both stage and studio environments.

The GrandMeister Deluxe 40 is not just about performance; it's also about convenience. The built-in power soak allows you to enjoy full tube saturation at lower volumes or even silently, making it ideal for home use or late-night recording sessions.

Control your tone on the fly with the GM40 REMOTE App for iPad, offering real-time manipulation of all amp parameters. For those who prefer a wireless setup, our WMI-1 wireless MIDI interface is the perfect companion.

In summary, the GrandMeister Deluxe 40 is a professional, versatile, and powerful all-tube guitar amplifier head that offers a wide range of high-quality sounds and effects, along with the convenience of programmable settings and silent recording capabilities. Whether you're performing on the world's biggest stages or crafting your next masterpiece in the studio, the GrandMeister Deluxe 40 is the definitive choice for discerning guitarists.
