The Studio2 Head

This full fea­tured (no sim­ple vol­ume and tone con­trol here) 2 watt amp is a record­ing and small venue dream. Its tone, feel and vol­ume are far big­ger than the out­put power rat­ing would have you believe. Being affec­tion­ately coined as hav­ing “Bober Watts”, this amp, as stated by many who have played it, “could cover most small gigs”.  Hav­ing a full com­pli­ment of tone and level con­trols, the sound pal­let of this amp is quite exten­sive. With the right pair­ing of gui­tar, the pos­si­bil­i­ties range from the rel­a­tive clean of the British “H” amps (think Pete Town­shend) to the liq­uid legato of your favorite play­ers of the infa­mous “D” amps, to tones so aggres­sive they might be tug­ging on the shirt­tails of Metal!  The amp also sports an inter­nal load so that it can be run sans speaker. This will allow a sig­nal from the vari­able line out, which is post out­put stage, to be sent to a larger amp via its effects loop return jack or even front panel input. This enables you to repro­duce the full tone of the amp, includ­ing out­put tubes, at what­ever power require­ment is necessary.
