GYPSY 15 Series

 
 
 
 
 

Hand crafted for the serious artist with the finest components and construction, and engineered for durability, clarity, sensitivity and a wide range of tone options.

The “15 Series” is a lower wattage design that develops power tube saturation at reasonable volume levels. Plenty of clean headroom in the preamp section that can sing when pushed hard. The 15 Series excels in the studio or for live performance and is voiced for maximum flexibility in a straightforward single channel design. It can make smooth transitions from clean to overdrive and effortlessly navigate between American and British tones. Extremely touch sensitive to capture and convey every nuance and emotion of your playing style.

Clean tones are warm and thick with an abundance of harmonic overtones. Overdrive can be dialed in with the amp’s volume control and maintains articulation even at higher gain settings. Extreme sensitivity to changes in your guitar volume and tone settings.  Outboard pedals and effects work well, whether directly into the front or through the serial buffered FX loop. Integrated adjustable boost is foot switchable and ideal as a lead boost or adding a little extra push.
