Get classic British sound built in the Albion factory. The Albion AG40DFX combo amp features a very unique "hybrid" preamplifier section combining a 12AX7/ECC83 tube and high voltage FETs (field effect transistors). This combination of circuit gives great tube sound, at an affordable price. A custom 12 inch speaker gives it the classic tone and the 16 built in digital effects add a whole sonic dimension.

Once upon a time lower entry guitar amp products were just that - low in sound and build quality! The Albion AG range blows that conception totally out of the water! The Albion AG40DFX is designed from the ground up as a "real" guitar amp. Amps that can be proudly used by guitar-players of any standing, from beginner to pro; without spending the "big bucks" of a top-end system. Perfect for practice and club gigs without any sacrificing of tone quality or playing "feel".

The ingredients behind the AG guitar amps, apart from being designed by a top-end designer, come together using a variety of technologies - high voltage FET devices, valves, and good solid-state design. The preamps of each model are a developed family of FET and valve, but unlike many competitive models the preamp technology works at high voltage just like these devices should do for their best performance. This gives a dynamic range, punch, and a tonal response more akin to more expensive pro amps but with much less maintenance than is required for their bigger brothers. These amps will perform consistently… read more day after day.

With a guitar amp the sonic quality of the amp is only as good as the speaker system that it is connected to. Throughout the Albion AG series they attempt to use better performing loudspeakers than the competition. For instance in Albion's AG10 model Albion's uses a quality 8 inch speaker as compared to the 6.5" speakers in other brands -- it makes a big, big difference.
