Koch Classictone II Head Yesterday's soul, today's reliability.

The Classictone II Head offers the same uncompromising boutique tone as the combo, but in a sleek, travel-friendly package. Crafted from heavy-duty birch plywood and finished with classic brown Tolex, this lightweight head is designed for players who demand premium tube saturation on the move. Pair it with a 1x12 for intimate gigs, or hook it up to a 4x12 to let the 20W or 40W power amp roar. With a built-in load resistor for safe silent running and pro-level DI connectivity, it's the ultimate central hub for your guitar rig.
