Hearth Stone Head

The Hearth Stone amplifier is a unique blend of vintage tube guitar amplifier construction and fresh vacuum tube circuit design.  From the hand wired chassis to the custom made hardwood cabinet.  

The  Hearth Stone has a unique 22 watt cathode biased quad 6AQ5 output section.  The 6AQ5 is a miniature version of the 6V6 and delivers a similar sound but in a smaller package.  True to the guitar amplifiers of this era we have used cathode bias for the output tubes as well as a vacuum tube rectifier and no output feedback loop to give that classic dynamic tube sound.

The Hearth Stone does however have a couple of features not found in the vintage amps, without changing the heart of the vintage sound.  A Clean/Distortion  channel foot switch that provides an additional pre-amp gain stage for overdriven soloing volume when the GAIN control is set low or big distortion if the GAIN control is set high.  Both the Clean and Distortion channels have their own output VOLUME control for precise level control when switching from Clean to Distortion.  The Hearth Stone also includes a tube buffered effects loop with bypass foot switch.

With the Hearth Stone design separate “pre-amp” distortion and “output tube” distortion can be achieved as well as a combination of both. The Hearth Stone Head comes standard with a  walnut cabinet and highly flamed maple front and read panels.  Optional cabinet woods are available upon  request.
