The Korena take

Venture V12 is the highest-powered head in the Venture Series, delivering 1,200 watts from a Class-D power section in a format that fits a gig bag. Its analog control path puts a legacy preamp, sweepable-mid EQ, Ultra switches, variable compressor, and SGT overdrive with SVT and B15 voicings within quick reach. Connections cover an effects loop with Mix control, XLR direct out, Aux and Phones, plus Neutrik speakON speaker outputs for cabinet routing.
