Sunn Amplification Beta Lead 200 Watt Guitar Amplifier Head w/ Footswitch

The Sunn Amplification Beta Lead has been often described as the first "great" solid state amplifier – and who are we to disagree with that? As not only one of solid state's great achievements but as one of rock guitar's great amps bar none, the Beta Lead legacy extends into today with an inventive design and a delectable tone made for cleans, heat, breakup, dirt, distortion and just about everything in between.

The Sunn Beta Lead has cultivated quite a reputation for a reason. A favorite of the likes of guitarists like Kurt Cobain and Buzz Osbourne, the Beta Lead has gone on to earn a name for itself for incredibly inspiring broken-up and clean tones alike with its tubeless design acting as a feature rather than a bug. Centrally, two independent amp channels feature two independent inputs with three-band EQs, level, drive, and reverb controls that can be swapped between or blended together with the amp's included footswitch. Sunn's analog MOSFET design produces a vast landscape of tones that hit shimmery cleans to crispy drives to pseudo-fuzz distortions. A step further, built-in FX loops on each channel allow for inventive integration of effects into the solid state signal flow where amp-born distortion proves crucial.

However you approach Sunn's iconic Beta Lead, it gives back lovingly in hefty doses.
