Description

Edit description

Discover a new realm of tonal possibilities with the Koch Supernova, a guitar amplifier head that seamlessly marries innovation with classic tube warmth. Designed for the discerning musician, the Supernova is equipped with Koch's proprietary OTS (Output Tube Saturation) technology, offering a rich harmonic overdrive that remains consistent even at low volumes. Whether you're crafting a delicate blues tune or shredding a rock anthem, this amp head provides the versatility and power you need.

The Koch Supernova's all-tube design, featuring EL84 power tubes, ensures a dynamic response and a natural, organic tone. Its three-channel configuration—clean, drive, and lead—allows for swift transitions between pristine cleans and searing leads, making it ideal for live performances and studio sessions alike. The integrated reverb adds depth to your soundscapes, while the presence and resonance controls offer further tonal sculpting, allowing you to tailor your sound to any genre or playing style.

For those who demand flexibility, the Supernova is equipped with multiple speaker outputs and a footswitchable effects loop, giving you the freedom to expand your setup with additional effects and cabinets. Its rugged construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of the road, while maintaining the sonic integrity you expect from a top-tier amplifier.

Esa´s rig, pictured in Nosturi, just about to be ready for festivals. System includes Koch Supernova and Koch Powertone (II) heads. Voodoo Lab GCX Looper (http://www.voodoolab.com/gcx.htm) and Ground Control for relay and midi-switching.

Channels are relatively the same in both amps: Clean, Crunch, Rhythm and Lead. If one of the heads goes down (tubes, etc.) the exchange of a amps can be done quickly as both amps change their channels simultaneously.
