"More than 20 years the Go To Amp"
THE HEART OF THE TONE: EL84 POWER TUBES
The driving force behind the Classictone II Series' exceptional tone is its use of EL84 power tubes. These revered tubes are renowned for their ability to produce a warm, clear tone with incredible overdrive. The result is a sound that's both dynamic and responsive, perfectly capturing the nuances of your playing. Whether you're performing at home, in the studio, or on the grandest stages, the Classictone II Series has you covered. Choose from either a combo or head model, available in 20-watt or 40-watt configurations, ensuring you have the power and flexibility to suit your needs.!

ALWAYS FEELING AT HOME PLAYING THE STUDIOTONE AMP.
At first glance, you would be forgiven if you dismissed the Koch Studiotone as just another tiny combo. In classic Koch tradition however, this compact power combo sounds much bigger, and has more features than one would suspect. Beginning with two EL84 power tubes in Class A, a newly designed speaker and cabinet, three foot switchable channels and two powerful voicing switches, the Koch Studiotone sound brings to mind the British valve amps of the 60s. The three channels (Clean, Overdrive & Overdrive+) take you from round, warm tones to saturated EL84 overdrive & compression. The 2-way ‘Mid Shift’ allows you to boost the mid frequencies around 800 Hz, and the 3-way ‘Bright’ switch allows you to cut or boost the high frequencies for fine tuning the top end. Some of the big surprises are left for the back panel though, and a quick inspection reveals a serial effects loop, a recording output with microphone placement and cabinet-style simulators, two line outputs (one unfiltered and one low level), and a ‘Headphone Out’ jack. Speaker outputs at 4, 8, and 16 Ohm allow for any combination of speakers, and the built-in Power Soak and Speaker on/off switch allow the amp to be played with the speaker turned off for recording or headphone use. There is also a short scale spring reverb tank, with front-mounted level adjustment. We believe the Koch Studiotone is one of the most versatile and compact guitar amplifiers on the market today. 
MODERN FEATURES
All Classictone II models have a on board full dummy load option. Full dummy load boxes are essential tools for guitarists and bassists who want to practice or record their tube amplifiers without disturbing others. They provide a safe and effective way to dissipate the amplifier's power without the need for a speaker cabinet. This allows you to crank your amp's volume to achieve your desired tone without worrying about damaging the speakers or your hearing.
