Apollo P5

Achillies Apollo P5 Tube Guitar Amplifier

The Achillies Apollo P5 is a compact, hand-built tube amplifier designed for players who value expressive dynamics, harmonic richness, and the unmistakable feel of classic low-wattage valve circuits. Delivering 5 watts of pure tube power, the Apollo P5 excels at touch-sensitive cleans, smooth natural breakup, and rich overdrive textures that respond effortlessly to your playing style and guitar controls.

Inspired by the sound and behaviour of early tweed-era, single-ended amplifiers, the Apollo P5 offers a warm, open voice with punchy mids, rounded lows, and a sweet, musical top end. Whether you’re recording, practicing, or playing in intimate live settings, this amp delivers an inspiring playing experience at manageable volumes.

Dynamic, Player-Responsive Tone

At the heart of the Apollo P5 is a carefully voiced signal path built around a 6V6 output tube, 12AX7 preamp, and 5Y3 tube rectifier, delivering natural compression, rich harmonics, and fluid transition from clean to breakup. The result is an amplifier that feels alive under the fingers — rewarding subtle nuance while still offering satisfying grit when pushed.

Built using an authentic hand-wired layout and premium components throughout, the Apollo P5 prioritises tone, reliability, and longevity. Every detail — from the transformers to the wiring — has been selected to honour classic design principles while meeting modern build standards.

Housed in a premium pine cabinet, finished in authentic tweed cloth with a lacquered nitrocellulose coating, the Apollo P5 not only sounds the part but looks and feels timeless.
