HGT-A20 Head

Developed using the same Hayden philosophy of design, craftsmanship and attention to detail found in our UK handmade amplifiers the All Valve Hayden HGT-A range brings unprecedented functionality, exquisite tone and reliability that belies their modest price point.

HGT-A20 Head

The Hayden HGT-A 20 brings tone and flexibility to today’s hard working guitarist. Driven by 3 x ECC83 valves in the preamp coupled with 2 x EL84 valves in the power section, the HGT-A 20 features 3 channels offering huge flexibility whether at home, rehearsal, in the studio or at a gig. The onboard Stage/Studio attenuation means sweet valve tone at 3 watts or the full 20 watts when required.

 

The dedicated clean channel has an independent EQ (Bass & Treble) and offers lush crystal clean tones through to a warm, bluesy crunch when driven hard. Channels 2 and 3 have a shared EQ that features Bass, Middle and Treble, along with a Contour control for quick and easy fine tuning of your sound. Channels 2 and 3 both have independent Volume and Gain controls meaning you can switch from a rhythm to boosted lead tone simply at the click of a switch. Whether it’s huge British crunch or all the way to American-styled, fully saturated tones, the HGT-A 20 head will not disappoint. Channels can be changed via the push buttons on the front panel or by using the supplied footswitch.

The HGT-A 20 also features digital reverb, an FX loop with level control and 2 recording out sockets that simulate the tone taken from a mic in front of a 4x12 cabinet ­– one leaving the amplifier operational and one which mutes the amplifier’s power amp section for silent recording. 2 x 8Ω speaker outputs and 1 x 16Ω output to allow connection to a wide variety of cabinets.
