Product Description

Achillies Apollo-Vibe

The Apollo-Vibe is all about feel, movement, and character. Designed around a compact, vintage-inspired platform, this amplifier delivers warm, harmonically rich tones paired with one of the most expressive true tube vibrato circuits in the Achillies lineup.

From shimmering cleans to gently pushed breakup, the Apollo-Vibe responds beautifully to touch and dynamics. Notes bloom naturally, chords feel three-dimensional, and the amp maintains a smooth, forgiving response that encourages expressive playing at any volume. Its output level makes it especially well-suited to bedroom and studio environments, where musical overdrive and dynamic feel are just as important as volume control.

The highlight of the Apollo-Vibe is its lush, footswitchable vibrato. Deep, pulsing, and wonderfully organic, the effect adds movement and atmosphere without overwhelming the core tone. Subtle settings provide gentle sway and depth, while higher intensities deliver rich, hypnotic modulation that feels alive under the fingers. Engaged via footswitch, the vibrato becomes an extension of the player’s expression rather than a simple effect.

Highly responsive to guitar volume and pick attack, the Apollo-Vibe transitions effortlessly between clean, edge-of-breakup, and singing sustain. It also works beautifully with pedals, making it a versatile companion for players who want classic feel with modern flexibility.

Handwired with the same meticulous attention to detail found in every Achillies amplifier, the Apollo-Vibe blends timeless tonal character with reliability and practicality.
