Perfect for players who want genuine valve tone without excessive volume.

A genuine Accutronics reverb block adds lush ambience, while the series effects loop lets you integrate pedals with ease. Whether clean and articulate or pushed into warm breakup, the SX-5 Combo puts tonal flexibility at your fingertips. Studio and Silent Recording Ready Designed with modern guitarists in mind, the SX-5C includes a speaker-emulated recording output that captures the response of a classic Celestion Alnico speaker. A speaker mute switch allows for completely silent recording, ensuring you can lay down tracks with authentic valve character at any volume. This makes the SX-5C equally at home in the studio as it is on stage. Built for Players, Built to Last Housed in a plywood cabinet finished in classic Tolex, the SX-5C is both stylish and rugged. A stealth switch reduces output while activating speaker tone compensation, making it ideal for late-night sessions or home use.
