Product Description

Apollo X

If X marks the spot, it has to be this amp - 14 watts of pure rock 'n roll bliss powered by two 6V6 output tubes, a 5Y3 rectifier tube, and your choice of speaker cabinet. The Apollo X, a symbol of American rock heritage, exudes attitude and is the ideal choice for a low watt recording amp, just waiting to be pushed into that sweet zone where compression, saturation, and edgy overdrive mix to create audio bliss.
