About KOCH Classictone II

An embodiment of vintage aesthetics and superior sound quality, the Koch Classictone II 40W Guitar Amplifier Head is a testament to our dedication to creating classic amplifiers. This product is part of our Classictone II series, a lineup that pays homage to iconic tube amps of the past, while incorporating modern technology for enhanced performance.

The Classictone II 40W Guitar Amplifier Head is equipped with EL84 power tubes, renowned for their ability to produce a warm, rich sound and exceptional overdrive. This feature is instrumental in recreating the nostalgic tones of yesteryear, making it an ideal choice for musicians seeking a vintage sound profile.

Available in both combo and head models, and in 20-watt and 40-watt versions, this amplifier is versatile and adaptable to a variety of settings. Whether you're playing at home, recording in the studio, or performing live on stage, the Classictone II 40W Guitar Amplifier Head delivers consistent, high-quality sound.

The amplifier's front panel is designed with a master volume setting, allowing you to fully experience the tube compression at any volume level. This switch functions as an attenuator, ensuring that your sound remains clear and distinct, regardless of the volume.

Equipped with a highly responsive equalizer spread across three channels, the Classictone II 40W Guitar Amplifier Head ensures your sound never becomes thick or muddy. Instead, it delivers a warm clean sound paired with a heavy overdrive, resulting in a unique 'singing' upper tone and a pleasing level of compression.

In essence, the Koch Classictone II 40W Guitar Amplifier Head is more than just a new product; it's a classic reborn, offering a harmonious blend of vintage design and modern functionality.
