Amplifiers built without compromise...

Soultone Forty-Five head
forty-five

 
   

Vintage Plexi sounds with Variable Power!

This is the most authentic yet flexible JTM45 style amplifier made!

Two editions are currently available, one with a MILSPEC printed circuit board, the other entirely MILSPEC handwired. Both are equipped with exclusive versions of Mercuy Magnetics transformers. Shipped standard with KT66 tubes, either EL34 or numerous combinations of octal tubes can be used in this amplifier. This amp has Power Scaling variable power control, and a dual rectifier switch selecting either the built in solid state FRED or Gz34 tube rectifier. Both HD and Pro versions are built using the best parts currently available, and the best sounding cabinetry available today.

45 Chassis

With switchable negative feedback taps, channel bridging or cascading, and plexi/jtm tone modeling, the Forty-Five is an incredibly versatile amp, covering a range of British sounding amplifiers from the Sixties, Seventies, and Eighties, at volumes manageable from stage to bedroom levels.

Vintage Styled 212 Straight Cabinet

Built to the same exacting standards of the Slant and Straight 412, this closed back 212 cabinet has the punch and tone of it's big brothers, thanks to quality finger-joined voidless Baltic Birch, a laminated speaker baffle, and a little extra depth over similar 212 cabinets. Using the same steel handles as the bigger 412, it can still get in most back seats.

VS212

This cabinet works well wtih any of the amps, but sounds especially magical with the Forty-Five. It can also be ordered in a detuned (with 1 12" spkr) configuration.

The speakers are standard two aged Celestion G12H30 Anniversary models, but can be upgraded to either the G12M or G12H Heritage.
