The amp that started it all
The H&B 50 was the first amplifier we ever designed. Introduced in 2008, the H&B 50 is our best-selling guitar amp to date. Featuring a powerful clean channel and a snarling gain channel, this amp is the definition of tonal versatility. We’ve always felt that many high-gain amps feature a clean channel that is more of an afterthought than a useable function, so we designed the H&B 50 to excel in both areas. Reminiscent of classic American designs, the clean channel showcases both a great top-end sparkle and a strong bottom-end. Stomp on the footswitch and you’ve got anything from a vintage British crunch to modern high-gain available in the second channel. The H&B 50 has great touch sensitivity, allowing you to clean up your tone or really bite down all with the way that you play your guitar. Add in the optional buffered effects loop and you’ve got a guitar amp that is a match for even the most demanding players.
Also available in a 25 Watt model.
