Hayden Amplifiers HGTA40 Head (40W)

This 40 Watt head uses the classic combination of 2 x EL34s in the power section.

The dedicated clean channel has an independent EQ (Bass & Treble) and offers lush crystal clean tones through to a warm, bluesy crunch when driven hard. Channels 2 and 3 have a shared EQ that features Bass, Middle and Treble, along with a Contour control for quick and easy fine tuning of your sound. Channels 2 and 3 both have independent Volume and Gain controls meaning you can switch from a rhythm to boosted lead tone simply at the click of a switch. Whether it’s huge British crunch or all the way to American-styled, fully saturated tones, the HGT-A 20 and 40 heads and combos will not disappoint. Channels can be changed via the push buttons on the front panel or by using the supplied footswitch.

The HGT-A 40 also features digital reverb, an FX loop with level control and 2 recording out sockets that simulate the tone taken from a mic in front of a 4x12 cabinet ­– one leaving the amplifier operational and one which mutes the amplifier’s power amp section for silent recording. 2 x 8Ω speaker outputs and 1 x 16Ω output to allow connection to a wide variety of cabinets.
