SX SERIES Classic Tube Emulation, awesome digital effects, rich black vinyl

covering and the brass red jewel light continue to make the AMERICAN MADE SX

Series one of the hottest amps on the market today!

EMULATION OR MODELING?

Unlike other “modeling” amps, the SX

doesn’t just copy the sounds of other amplifiers – it actually emulates 12AX7 tube

circuitry. The SX waveforms successfully “emulates” real tube waveforms that

breathe and express warmth from a mild soft-clip to a full power soaked sustain.

Pro players and industry gurus have stated that the SX Tube Emulator actually

sounds better than many tube amps!

TWO CHANNELS

– Clean and Distortion. Each channel has its own indepen-

dent volume control for setting up equal levels quickly and easily. The SX200 and

SX200H adds true “DUAL CHANNEL 1 & 2” capabilities allowing both channels to

be played at the same time.

ACTIVE TONE CONTROLS

All models feature BASS, MID and TREBLE

controls on both channels. The SX200 and SX200H goes even further by adding a

PRESENCE control to each channel for more high-end.

24-BIT EFFECTS

Once you have your tone, add in just the right amount of

lush REVERBS, rich CHORUSES, thick textured FLANGING and pristine ECHOES

using fully adjustable parameters for damping, decay, depth, speed, time and

regeneration–up to 256 24-BIT effects. The SX200 and SX200H adds a second

digital processor dedicated to creating a lush, concert-hall reverb at the push of a

button.

SX MODELS

The 50 watt SX50 with one heavy-duty 12”

speaker is perfect for any venue. The SX100, SX200 and SX200H feature a full

100 watts RMS – plenty for most situations. All combos & stacks feature the

heavy-duty speakers that provides awesome guitar reproduction – from clean to

blues to scream’n metal. The SX200 features two 12” speakers for an even bigger

sound. The SX200H head can be paired with either a 4x12 half stack or

8x12 full stack.

REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS

All back panels feature a voiced LINE

OUT for recording or running a slave amp, HEADPHONE jack, EXTENSION

SPEAKER jack and a FOOT SWITCH jack for the optional FS22 (for remotely

changing channels and turning on/off the effects). The extra dedicated

reverb on the SX200 & SX200H is controlled by a front panel switch. The

SX200 & SX200H also adds SEND/RETURN jacks for your own external

effects. A 4, 8, 16Ω impedance switch is featured for matching speakers.

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION

SMT surface mount electronics

ensure consistent, reliable performance and are nearly impervious to

bumps and vibrations. Strong, lightweight plywood cabinet (not particle

board), aluminum chassis, steel grille and corners deliver one of the light-

est, yet most rugged amps available.
