Studiotone Head

The Koch Studiotone 20/40 Head.

Identical Architecture, Zero Compromise

Despite their small footprint, Koch has cut no corners. Both heads feature the identical, comprehensive toolset that has made the Studiotone series an industry benchmark for over two decades:

Three Foot-Switchable Channels: Effortlessly shift from warm, pristine American Clean to rich British Overdrive and high-gain Overdrive Boost.
Smart Analog Recording Output: Features authentic speaker-voicing and mic-placement simulation to send pure, cranked-cabinet tube tone straight to the mixing board or DAW.
Built-in Power Soak: Turn off the speaker output entirely to record or practice in absolute silence while keeping your power tubes cooking hot.
Gig-Ready Routing: Includes a serial effects loop, authentic short-scale spring reverb, a dedicated headphone jack, and multiple speaker outputs (4, 8, and 16 ohms) to pair flawlessly with any speaker cabinet.

Big tone no longer requires a heavy lift. The Koch Studiotone Heads offer the perfect blend of lightweight portability, intelligent engineering, and uncompromising analog power.

Boutique Power in a Lunchbox Format

For guitarists who want the legendary versatility of the Studiotone series but prefer the flexibility of a separate head and cabinet setup, the Studiotone 20 and 40 XL Heads deliver premium, all-tube tone in an ultra-portable format. Affectionately known as "lunchbox heads," these compact tone machines pack the exact same smart features and multi-channel architecture as their famous combo counterparts into a remarkably small, lightweight chassis.
Whether you need a grab-and-go companion for club gigs or a versatile centerpiece for your recording studio, there is a Studiotone head tailored to your volume requirements.

Two Flavors of Pure Tube Power

The Studiotone 20 Head (20 Watts / 10 KG):
Driven by two EL84 power tubes, this model gives you gorgeous Class-A tube saturation, sparkling cleans, and dynamic crunch at volume levels that are perfect for club stages, rehearsals, and studio tracking.

The Studiotone 40 XL Head (40 Watts / 12 KG):
If you need extra muscle, the XL version doubles the firepower with four EL84 power tubes. It delivers towering clean headroom, a tighter low-end response, and the raw acoustic authority needed to anchor the loudest live stages.
