The SonicTone Loyalist amplifier is the next evolution of British high-gain amplifiers. Standing on the shoulders of the amps that came before it, the Loyalist takes the next step forward, with a total of 4 channels and extra gain stages to produce this high-gain monster. Like its American counterpart, it's a very versatile amp with an extremely wide range of tones to suit your tastes. The result is a mid-range focused tone with a tight low-end, with tons of gain to spare - which is great for leads that can cut through the mix.

For a quick overview of the amp, channel 1 is a beautiful clean line that can also deliver a crunchy overdrive. Channel 2 is "secretly" the same preamp as the '81 Special. And channels 3 and 4 are voiced with the same high gain tone, but both have a few tonal options to allow you to set them up differently.

Recommended Speaker Pairing: 25-watt Celestion Greenbacks for 80's rock & metal; 75-watt Celestion G12Ts for modern metal.

Available as a head.
