These classic-style valve amps pay homage to vintage legends while infusing innovative features, making them an exceptional, modern, and cost-effective gem for musicians and audio aficionados alike.
Unleash the Power of Valves
Powered by 3 x ECC83 and 2 x EL34 valves, the SX-50H delivers a stunning 50 watts (RMS) of pure valve-driven power into 8 and 16 ohms, allowing you to experience that rich, warm, and dynamic tone you’ve been yearning for. Whether you’re in the studio, on stage, or jamming in your garage, this amplifier guarantees that your sound remains authentically classic.
A Channel for Every Mood
The SX range features a dedicated clean channel with independent bass and treble controls, offering pristine, crystal-clear tones for your rhythm work. But that’s just the beginning. The drive channel is split into channels 2 and 3, each equipped with its own gain control. This allows you to effortlessly transition from sweet, smooth overdrive to roaring distortion with a simple twist of a knob or a tap of your foot on the footswitch.
Total Sonic Control
Customize your sound with precision using the comprehensive EQ controls, including contour, bass, middle, and treble. Fine-tune your reverb settings with the digital Digilog by Belton reverb, providing that lush, immersive ambiance to your music. Master volumes for Channels 2 and 3 give you total control over the overall output level.
Versatile Connectivity
The SX line is equipped with an array of connectivity options to adapt to your needs. The back panel boasts speaker jacks for 8 and 16-ohm connections, ensuring compatibility with your preferred cabinets. The buffered effects loop with ‘in’ and ‘out’ jacks features a convenient level control, allowing you to integrate your pedalboard seamlessly.
Studio-Quality Recording
For recording enthusiasts, the SX-50H offers two recording out jacks: ‘live’ keeps your speakers active, while ‘dead’ mutes for silent recording. This flexibility ensures your recordings are studio-quality, capturing every nuance of your performance.
Customisable Volume Control
One of the standout features of the SX range is the rear panel switch that lets you toggle between ‘stage’ and ‘studio’ settings. This ensures that you can adjust the volume without sacrificing the authentic valve amp drive at lower settings, sparing your neighbours from any unwelcome noise disturbances.
