VHT Amplification presents The Standard 36 Head, a hand-wired vacuum tube amplifier head, has just been released. In today's music technology trend, the push towards vintage technology is on a rampage from postmodern analog synthesizers up to tube-based effects and amplification, and VHT Amplification's new beast will give that extra drive in the fight against digital supremacy. VHT Amplification is certainly out to ingrain in our membranes (ingrain in our brains!) that old-school tube technology still has a place in this digital realm.

The Standard 36 Watt hand-wired vacuum tube head features complex tones out to meet VHT Amplification's goal of providing that personalized voice that comes from your guitar's wood, hardware and electrical components as well as your own playing technique and personality. With articulate highs hand in hand with tight and focused lows, the Standard 36 provides that expressive, touch-sensitive sound -- not to mention impressive power -- that can only be provided by a handmade amp. In that quest for the classic sounds of axemen like Brian May or John Deacon, there's little fuss or muss involved. Some say that the longer the journey, the greater the reward, but why not get a great reward the easy way?

Features:

• 36 Watts RMS
• Four EL84s Power Tubes
• Three 12AX7 Preamp Tubes
• One 5U4GB Rectifier Tube
• One Tone Channel and one TMB Channel
• Master Volume
• Handwired in the US

The hand-crafted Standard 36 Head by VHT amplification sells at $1,899.99 MSRP. Getting yourself one saves you from the option of making your own amp out of a scrap circuit board and a couple of old speakers from your garage, and you don't have to deal with enrolling in an electronics course at your local community college or university. The handiwork has been done for you, so it's a solid alternative to possible auto-electrocution.
