Loaded with 3 x 12AX7 preamp and 2 x EL84 power tubes, this incredible boutique-style powerhouse gives you the flexibility of two independent channels and selectable reverb, both switchable via the included heavy-duty footswitch.

Classic All-Tube Design

The VINTAGE V22 INFINIUM features true Class-A technology with a 3 x 12AX7 front-end and 2 x EL84 power stage. A masterfully crafted all-tube combo amplifier, the V22 INFINIUM provides sweetly-balanced harmonics and natural tube compression, resulting in the warm distortion and break-up you've come to appreciate from those treasured vintage amplifiers of yesteryear.

The hand-selected 12AX7 preamp tubes in V22 INFINIUM's classic '60s-era preamp provide everything from sweetly-purring blues to mind-blowing crunch. Often employed in British-style amplifiers, the EL84 output tube is known for its crisp and chiming tonal quality when pushed to the max, and the V22 INFINIUM read more harnesses every ounce of that power to awesome effect.

INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology

The INFINIUM Tube Life Multiplier Technology can extend the usable lifespan of your amplifier's expensive power tubes by up to 20 times, saving you huge money and ensuring the integrity of your tone. How? This revolutionary circuit automatically and continuously monitors the performance of each output tube, and dynamically drives it towards the target operating point, for an evenly distributed load.
INFINIUM also compensates for the effects of aging, automatically adjusting current levels to keep your tubes sounding as good as new, even when AC line voltages drop below nominal levels. Similar technology has been used for decades in all-wheel drive cars, where systems modulate the power going to each wheel to improve traction. Just consider INFINIUM Series amps "4-wheel drive" for your guitar.
INFINIUM Series amps take all the guesswork out of tube replacement by illuminating an LED next to a tube that is reaching the end of its usable lifespan. And thanks to INFINIUM's Auto-Bias design, you simply replace the indicated tube -- without a trip to the repair shop, saving you even more money.

High-Definition Reverb

Adding to its impressive list of tone-shaping options, the VINTAGE V22's high-definition Reverb puts the perfect finishing touch to your signature sound. Adjustable via the dedicated control on the front panel, you can finally achieve any sound you desire -- from a subtle touch to the cavernous, natural-sounding reverberation of a large arena.

Own the Tone

The VINTAGE V22 INFINIUM's amazing tone-palette begins with its footswitchable, 2-channel (Clean and Lead) preamp. Tone-sculpting options abound, including an onboard 3-band Vintage EQ section (Bass, Mid, Treble) with Presence control. Normal and Bright inputs provide superb matching to your instrument's tonal characteristics.

Expandable

The output impedance selector allows you to match any external 4, 8 or 16-Ohm speaker setup. Plus, thanks to the V22's Mode switch, which selects between Triode and Pentode operation, you can instantly jump from sweet and warm, to massively raucous high-gain edge.

Footswitch Included

You have all the tools you need, right out of the box! We include a heavy-duty footswitch for channel and reverb selection to give you easy and convenient control of your tone, right from your pedalboard -- allowing your focus to remain on your performance.

I bought this to replace a 1973 Carvin solid state amp that sounds exactly like a Marshall Plexi because the Carvin has started showing its age and losing its sparkle. I picked this amp because of the one review here and the price. I am glad I did! 22 watts is loud enough for any club I am playing in and it gets miked to boot. Everything is sensitive on this amp: the two volumes, master and the eq. The dirty channel breathes fire if you want it to and the clean channel is clean unless you push it a bit... then you are pushing the power tubes into distortion which has a pleasant vibe depending on how hot your guitar pickups are. If you are looking for an amp you want to push on stage this is it. Forget Fender... this has much more character than their deluxes and cost less that half as much. What a great amp!
