Product Description
Achillies Zephyr 15 Head
A Masterclass in Tone—Studio-Ready. Stage-Worthy. Timeless.
The Achillies Zephyr 15 Head is a true sonic time machine, faithfully built around the legendary AA1164 circuit—delivering that unmistakable mid-scooped, sparkling tone that defined an era of classic American sound.
Despite its compact size, the Zephyr 15 Head is anything but shy. Pushing 12-15 watts through a pair of 6V6 power tubes, this amp delivers shimmering cleans, rich harmonic detail, and smooth compression, transitioning effortlessly into dynamic overdrive when pushed. Whether paired with a Jensen C10R or C12R AlNiCo speaker, expect a responsive, articulate voice with signature chime and musical breakup.
The tube-driven reverb is lush and dimensional, perfect for everything from subtle ambience to surfy swells, while the true vibrato circuit adds a liquid shimmer that breathes life into every note.
Handwired with solid core vintage spec wire, custom USA-made transformers, and housed in a rugged dovetail-joined pine cabinet, the Zephyr 15 Head is built for players who demand both exceptional tone and reliability, whether in the studio or on stage.
Whether you’re performing on stage or recording in the studio, the Zephyr 15 Head provides a versatile, high-performance option for players who demand top-tier craftsmanship, superior tone, and an amplifier that will stand the test of time.
