Product Description
Achillies Zephyr 40 Combo – 1x15 w/ Jensen C15K
Big Iron. Bigger Tone.
The Achillies Zephyr 40 Combo is a no-compromise, all-in-one tone machine built to deliver the full weight and warmth of vintage American blues and boogie. Based on the legendary AB763 circuit, this 40-watt combo is powered by dual 6L6 tubes and voiced for massive clean headroom, smooth breakup, and unmistakable Southern swagger.
Loaded with a Jensen C15K speaker, the Zephyr 40 Combo punches with exceptional authority—delivering extended low-end response, clean sparkle, and room-filling dynamics that let your notes breathe and bloom. The 1x15 format isn’t just big in size—it’s big in feel, ideal for players chasing SRV-style tones, bold cleans, and articulate overdrive with muscle.
Texas Inferno Mod (Optional):
For players looking to ignite even more heat, the Texas Inferno upgrade adds:
-
Solid-state rectifier for quicker attack and added punch
-
Upgraded high-output transformer for increased headroom and tonal depth
-
Optional second channel with Cesar Diaz-style mods for fiery, focused gain
Standard Features:
-
Signature Achillies Optocoupler Tremolo – deep, dimensional pulse with true tube-driven vibe
-
Tube-driven Spring Reverb with lush, vintage depth
-
Half-Power Switch – crank it at lower volumes without sacrificing tone
-
Buffered Effects Loop – perfectly voiced for pedals and rack gear
Housed in a finely crafted cabinet and built with handwired precision using silver Teflon-coated wire and USA-made custom transformers, the Zephyr 40 Combo is as rugged as it is refined.
From Texas boogie to smoky blues, the Zephyr 40 1x15 Combo is your go-to for bold, expressive tone that fills the room—and your soul.
