Jet City 20HV Valve Head

Full Description

Vintage Style Tone

The Jet City 20HV is based on the 20H. With a slightly lower output and vintage-style aesthetics, the 20HV is a more nuanced amplifier with a darker and cleaner tone. This single channel amp is ideal for grab and go sessions, where you can quickly plug in and get a great tone with organic valve response and saturation. This amp is perfect for blues players, or for those who like to craft their tone through their pickup and control settings, along with additional effects pedals. With its highly accessible price-point, the Jet City 20HV is the perfect amp for budget conscience players with high tonal demands.

Real Valve Tone

The Jet City is driven by 12AX7 preamp valves for a mid-focussed British-style tone which will cut through the mix. The EL84 power amp valves provide a nuanced response with great touch-sensitivity. The 20 watts of power is a great balance - enough to be heard over a band with real tube saturation at manageable volume levels, yet also ideal for recording, letting you get cranked tones at a sensible volume.

Single Channel Simplicity - Soldano Preamp

With a single channel, the 20H is a simple-to-use amplifier reminiscent of vintage designs. This is the perfect platform for pedals, letting you shape your tone with both the preamp drive and your own overdrive pedals/boosts. A 3-band EQ, presence control, and depth switch allow you to fully sculpt your tone to match your guitar and desired sound. The preamp is designed by Soldano and gives you access to a professional overdrive sound with a musical response and great versatility.

Multiple Connections

The 20HV features multiple speaker outputs, ready to integrate with both single and multiple cabinets. An additional FX loop also allows you to integrate your effects pedals - the loop is designed by Mojotone for premium solid-state sound and is connected post-Master volume, so any boosts will gain a transparent volume jump while your effects will be as un-coloured by the preamp as possible.
