Compact size, massive tone
The EVO 20W Compact Head is proof that great things come in small packages. Designed to be portable without compromising on power, this amp head delivers 20 watts of rich, valve-driven tone that punches well above its weight. It’s ideal for guitarists who need a serious studio or stage-ready amp but don’t want to lug around bulky gear. Despite its compact 37 x 20 x 20 cm frame, it has a huge sonic footprint thanks to its carefully tuned internal circuitry and premium components. From rehearsals and recording sessions to full-blown gigs, the EVO gives you big sound in a highly transportable form.
Two channels, endless versatility
With a dedicated clean and drive channel, the EVO gives you the flexibility to explore a broad spectrum of tones. The clean channel delivers a glassy, shimmering response reminiscent of classic American amps—perfect for pedals or standalone clarity. Switch over to the drive channel and you’ll unlock a gritty, saturated voice that’s tailor-made for everything from bluesy overdrive to tight, aggressive metal tones. Volume and gain controls for each channel allow for nuanced tweaking, while the drive channel also includes a three-band EQ, giving you full tonal control without diving into menus or digital interfaces. This is a fully analogue experience that responds beautifully to your touch, technique, and guitar choice.
No-bias tube swapping
What sets the EVO apart is its no-bias tube system, which allows you to change power tubes without tools or calibration. This innovative feature lets you explore different sonic textures by simply swapping between 6L6 and EL34 tubes—or even mixing them. Prefer the tight low end and punch of EL34s or the rounded warmth of 6L6s? You can tailor the amp to suit your sound. This level of customisation makes the EVO a tone-shaper’s dream, offering the kind of flexibility usually reserved for high-end boutique amps. It’s a simple but powerful innovation that makes the EVO uniquely user-friendly and performance-ready.
Studio and stage ready
From its robust build quality to its thoughtfully designed features, the EVO is engineered to shine in any environment. A 20W/2W power attenuator lets you drop the output for home use without compromising tone, while the dedicated effects loop makes it easy to integrate time-based or modulation pedals with pristine signal clarity. Speaker outputs for both 8 and 16 ohm cabinets ensure compatibility across a wide range of setups, so you can pair it with your favourite cab without limitations. Built with top-tier European components and hand-assembled in Greece, the EVO is a reliable, road-tested amp head that meets the demands of serious guitarists everywhere.
