Named for London's entertainment district, the Soho series offers the same thick, singing 2nd generation British tone that has been used by rockers since the mid 60's. Available in 20, 50 and 100 watt models, it's one of the most versatile British flavored amps you can find anywhere. It's extremely easy to dial in great organic tones, both clean and overdriven which is how you usually hear this amp played. An uncluttered circuit path that allows great percussive attack chording or big fat round sustaining lead tones. A great platform for any style of music that's as sweet on 2 as it is on 10. Matched with a variety of alnico or ceramic speakers it can be sweet and compressed or as thick and heavy as you like it.
