Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A hand-wired 100W, three-channel Friedman head built with Bill Kelliher for tightly voiced, high-gain guitar tones.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players seeking high-gain tones from slightly overdriven hard rock through extreme gain
- Guitarists who want three channels with independent gain, master, bass, middle, and treble controls
- Players who value a hand-wired U.S.-made tube head with an effects loop
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a clean-focused amp
- Players who do not need a 100W, four-EL34 tube head
