VHT announces the release of the Lead 40, a 2-channel all-tube amp designed for both classic and modern overdriven tube tones.
The Lead 40 is a 40 Watt RMS 2-channel amp with separate Clean and Overdrive channels. It has reverb and a master volume. Both channels have a shared EQ. VHT engineers have carefully voiced both channels so that they can effectively share the EQ. When switching channels, the frequency response is unaffected, so no EQ adjustment should be required when channel switching, the company says.
The VHT Lead 40 is based around the same design as VHT’s Lead 20, with double the tubes, providing 40 Watts RMS from 4 EL84 tubes. The cabinet is fitted with one 12" Celestion G12H30 speaker and one 12" VHT Special Design speaker, deliberately chosen for their complementary sound, according to VHT. “The Celestion’s great midrange sound fits perfectly with the VHT speaker, which has been specially designed to reinforce the highs and lows of the amp, ” they say. An 11-ply birch plywood cabinet covered in classic black tolex houses the chassis and speaker.
Pricing & Availability
The VHT Lead 40 lists for $1699.99 and is available now.
