Friedman Amplification Vintage Series VX-30 Watt Head – Black

Information

Brand New w/ Warranty. We are an authorized Friedman Dealer.

The chime, shimmer and touch-sensitive feel of the great British EL84 amplifiers have inspired generations of guitarists for more than sixty years. From sparkling cleans and edge-of-breakup grind to harmonically rich overdrive, few sounds are as instantly recognizable – or as influential. A member of Dave Friedman’s Vintage-Series, the VX-30 is a 30-Watt, all-tube head that captures everything players love about those iconic vintage circuits while adding thoughtful refinements that expand their versatility.

Built around a quad of EL84 power tubes and inspired by a rare 1963 copper-panel amplifier enhanced with a Top Boost circuit, the VX-30 Head delivers the unmistakable chime, harmonic complexity and touch sensitivity that define one of rock’s most celebrated amplifier designs. The VX-Series comprises three products – the VX-30 Combo, the VX-30 Head and matching VX-212 extension cabinet – delivering the authentic vintage British experience in the format that fits your rig.

Handcrafted in Los Angeles using premium components and custom-made transformers, the VX-30 Head isn’t simply a tribute to a classic – it’s the vintage British experience, evolved.
