All Valve Class A 55 watt Guitar Combo Hand Built in the UK
The Hayden MoFo 55 Combo with it's Class A all valve amplifier section is an outright winner in it's portable and convenient 1x12 package. The MoFo 55 combo is complimented by four ECC83 tubes fueling the foot-switchable dual channel preamp stage with independent gains and master volume controls. The tonal quality benefits from the passive treble, middle, bass and presence controls which are shared by both channels, and FX send and return sockets are conveniently located on the front panel. The MoFo 55 guitar combo has a series of 3 voice buttons can be used to thin out or thicken the signal from the pickups before it passes into the main gain stages – very useful for focusing the sound under heavy drive settings. These switches can also be used to mute the signal for tuning. The output stage uses a pair of 6550 tubes running fixed bias to ensure a big, fat sound.
Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil and Eagles of Death Metal Jesse Hughes and Dave Catching are already firm fans of Hayden’s extraordinary MoFo guitar amp head. Now the UK-based tube-amp specialist is expanding the MoFo range with the launch of a new 45-Watt twin channel head and combo, designed with the hard-rocking metal player clearly in mind.
