Building on the legacy of the original Beta Lead, this new combo amplifier retains the powerful sound that made the Beta legendary, while offering a more compact and portable design.
The Legacy of the Beta Lead
The Beta Lead amplifier has long been celebrated for its revolutionary sound, which played a key role in shaping the tones of rock icons like Adam Jones of Tool, Kurt Cobain, Red Fang, and The Melvins. Known for its unique analog MOSFET design, the Beta Lead delivers tube-like distortion that cleans up beautifully with the instrument's volume control, making it a staple in rock and metal music.
Features of the New Beta Lead Combo
The new Beta Lead Combo is designed for players who need the power and versatility of the original Beta Lead but in a more portable package. This combo amp features two independent channels, each equipped with a full set of reengineered controls, allowing you to craft a wide range of tones more precisely. Whether you’re seeking clean, overdriven, or heavily distorted sounds, the Beta Lead Combo delivers with precision.
One of the standout features of this amplifier is its three effect loops, which provide extensive flexibility for integrating your favorite pedals and effects into your setup. Additionally, the combo includes a built-in 12-inch Jensen 12N100 driver housed in a solid Baltic Birch cabinet, ensuring rich, full-bodied sound with exceptional durability.
