Product Description
Achillies Apollo-Vibe
A Tribute to the Tweed Vibrolux – Compact, Lively, and Rich with Character
Inspired by the iconic 5F11 Tweed Vibrolux, the Achillies Apollo-Vibe brings the soul of late-'50s Californian tone into a compact, handwired combo that’s full of warmth, clarity, and dynamic expression.
Pushing 10 watts of all-tube power through a finely tuned Jensen P10R AlNiCo speaker, the Apollo-Vibe captures that unmistakable Tweed-era breakup—creamy mids, rich harmonics, and a tight low end, all delivered with exceptional nuance. Its simple Volume and Tone controls allow for expressive saturation when cranked, while retaining the sparkle and definition that defines the golden era of American amps.
The amp’s tube-driven tremolo is true to vintage form, with variable Speed and Depth controls offering lush, pulsating modulation that breathes life into every note—organic, musical, and inspiring.
Built into a dovetail-joined, select pine cabinet, the Apollo-Vibe resonates like a living instrument. The synergy between the circuit, speaker, and cabinet creates an incredibly tactile playing experience, making the amp feel as responsive as the guitar in your hands.
Whether you're tracking in the studio or performing on a mic’d stage, the Apollo-Vibe delivers authentic Tweed tone in a manageable, expressive package that’s built to inspire.
