Description

The Marshall AVT50H is a hybrid guitar amplifier head that seamlessly blends tube warmth with solid-state reliability. This 50-watt powerhouse is designed to deliver the unmistakable Marshall tone, making it an ideal choice for both studio and stage performances. Thanks to its ECC83 Dual Triode valve-driven preamp, players can enjoy authentic, bell-like harmonics and dynamic, tube-driven overdrive without the fragility of a full valve amp.

Perfectly suited for pairing with the AVT412A or AVT412B cabinets, the AVT50H offers two footswitchable channels that range from sparkling cleans to roaring overdrives, capturing the essence of vintage Marshall sound. The amp's Overdrive channel allows for a wide sonic palette, from classic rock crunch to modern high-gain distortion, all while maintaining clarity and punch.

This amp head also includes a suite of practical features like reverb, an emulated line output, and a headphone jack for silent practice. With the AVT50H, you get the best of both worlds—classic valve-driven tone with the ruggedness and consistency of solid-state technology.

Key Features:

  • 50-watt output
  • ECC83 Dual Triode valve-driven preamp
  • Solid-state power stage
  • Two footswitchable channels (Clean and Overdrive)
  • Built-in reverb
  • Emulated line output for direct recording
  • Headphone jack for quiet practice
  • CD input for jamming along with tracks
