As American amplifiers were making their mark in music in the 1950's, circuits were evolving to meet the needs of the guitar players of the day. The SonicTone Clarksdale takes a page from that era of amplifier design to deliver an amped up version of a classic American rock n roll amp. A few small modern updates grace this amp, providing 2 separate footswitchable channels with independent EQ controls and a tube-driven FX loop, among other enhancements. With that, the Clarksdale boasts a classic sparkling clean channel and a harmonically rich overdrive channel to suit a wide range of tastes. And it's also a great pedal platform amp.

Recommended Speaker Pairing: Celestion 60-watt Vintage 30s for a well-rounded sound, or Alnico Golds for a more vintage, mellow sound.

Available as a 60-watt head, 120-watt head, or 60-watt 2x12 combo.
