Hand-Built British Craftsmanship

The PM-20H is a 20-watt all-valve head, hand-built in the UK to embody the essence of classic British amplifier design. Compact yet powerful, it blends tradition with modern versatility, making it the perfect choice for small-stage gigs, intimate venues, or studio recording.

Pure 6V6 Valve Tone

Powered by 2x 6V6 output valves, the PM-20H delivers a warm, dynamic tone full of harmonic richness. Its 20 watts of output strike the ideal balance between natural compression and manageable volume, allowing guitarists to explore clean articulation, sweet edge-of-breakup tones, and smooth overdrive without overpowering small spaces.

Intuitive Controls and Voicing Options

The control panel is deliberately straightforward, with Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Master knobs that respond musically to every adjustment. A Dark/Light voicing switch offers two distinct tonal flavours: Dark for depth and warmth, Light for bite and clarity. Add in a Boost function, footswitchable via the FS-2, for extra drive or volume lift, and you've got a flexible platform for everything from subtle dynamics to soaring leads.

Studio and Practice Ready

Designed with modern players in mind, the PM-20H includes a built-in load that allows for silent recording or headphone practice without needing a cab. This makes it just as valuable for late-night home sessions as it is for professional studios. Compact and portable, it ensures authentic valve tone is always within reach, wherever you need it.
