Product Description
Achillies Zephyr 22 Head
Vintage American Tone Refined — Studio-Ready, Stage-Strong.
The Achillies Zephyr 22 Head is the perfect fusion of vintage character and practical performance, capturing the essence of one of the most iconic American amplifiers ever made. Handwired with meticulous care and voiced after the revered AA763 circuit, this 22-watt all-tube head delivers the unmistakable mid-scooped chime, touch sensitivity, and lush reverb tones that defined an era of music history.
Designed for guitarists who demand authentic black-panel tone without compromise, the Zephyr 22 Head strikes an ideal balance between sparkling clean headroom and rich, dynamic breakup. Powered by a duet of 6V6 output tubes and a tube-driven long-spring reverb circuit, this amp thrives in both stage and studio environments—excelling as a pedal platform while still capable of standing tall on its own tonal character.
