Description

Discover a world of tonal possibilities with the Paul Reed Smith Custom 50, an amplifier head that artfully blends high-class tone with modern versatility. Designed for the discerning guitarist, this 50-watt tube head boasts two dynamic channels that effortlessly transition from pristine, chime-like cleans to aggressive, high-gain roars. Whether you're a gigging professional or a studio aficionado, the Custom 50 simplifies your quest for the perfect sound with its intuitive controls and flexible features.

Enhance your performance with the footswitchable solo boost and an effects loop equipped with send/return level controls, ensuring your signature sound remains consistent and powerful. The Custom 50’s switchable 4/8/16 ohm speaker outputs allow seamless integration with any speaker cabinet, making it a versatile addition to any setup. Dive deeper into your sonic palette with the mid-scoop control on the lead channel, perfect for achieving those modern metal tones, or engage the Depth circuit via the presence knob for an added low-frequency punch.

The assignable reverb offers further adaptability, allowing you to choose whether it enhances both channels or just the clean one. With the Paul Reed Smith Custom 50, you’re not just purchasing an amp; you’re gaining a partner in creating the music you’ve always imagined.
