TriAmp MK II is your first choice for uncompromising sound and total

to take all your ideas about tone to the stage. And just one word –
roadworthy – suffices to describe the many features designed specifically
for the gigging guitarist! No nonsense, no compromises, and no less than
13 hand-picked tubes. With all this and unrivalled tonal flexibility to
boot, this amp stands as a testament to our Technology of Tone. It is as
much amp as anyone could hope to fit in just one enclosure!

TriAmp Alex Lifeson Signature Model
Alex Lifeson, the iconic guitarist with the Canadian combo Rush, has
inspired fans all over the world for more than three decades. His reliable
partner in sublime tone is TriAmp®. As a token of appreciation for his
confidence in our gear – and as a very sweet treat for players seeking
something very special – we joined forces with Alex to craft this namesake
model. Now Alex’s signature graces the glowing purple Plexiglas front
panel. What’s more, the head and cabinet come in an audacious faux croc
covering. One look and you‘ll be hooked!
Duotone – 110% Rock ‘n’ Roll
Duotone rocks like there’s no tomorrow, raising the roof and leaving
one-sound-wonder amps out in the rain. We teamed up with an amptuning guru to build this modern classic. Mindful of the modifications
pros ask for most frequently, he helped us tweak Duotone with the four
most sought-after mods - better tone, more aggressive attack, a tubedriven effects loop, and a real clean channel! Supercharged classic rock
tones thick enough to slice; plenty of punch and presence; fat, dynamic
overdrive; a tube-buffered effects loop, two switchable masters, and a
top-drawer clean channel that truly merits its name make this one aweinspiring cream machine of an amp.
