This amp is the range’s equivalent of our Classic A Range Stage/Studio 40w head and combo. 20w for the studio, so you can drive it to get that singing, cranked Hiwatt tone whilst leaving the plasterwork intact, and switch up to 40w for the stage. To all intents and purposes, a T20 with the ability to double the output power. Clever.
