Detail 01
30 watts, all tube
Tube watts are loud. This keeps up with a drummer and pushes into power-amp breakup before a solid-state 30W would.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 30-watt all-tube guitar head. For players who want real power-tube feel at club volume and already own, or will buy, a speaker cabinet.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small clubs and rehearsal rooms with a 1x12 or 2x12
- Studio work where power-tube breakup matters
- Building a head-and-cab rig instead of using a combo
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting one box that makes sound out of the carton
- Quiet bedroom practice — tube amps want volume to open up
- Players who want presets, modeling and built-in effects
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Head, not a combo
No speaker inside. Add a cabinet and a proper speaker cable before it makes any sound.
Detail 03
Tube power section
Tubes wear out. Expect retubing and bias service over the years, plus a minute to warm up.
Detail 04
Speaker load required
A tube head must see a matched cabinet load. Powering it up with nothing connected risks the output transformer.
Detail 05
$949
Sits above budget solid-state heads. The money goes into the tube circuit, not into feature count.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cabinet and speaker cable are separate purchases
- 02Never switch it on without a cab connected
- 03Check the cab's impedance matches the head's output before playing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need a cabinet for this?
Yes. It's a head — an amplifier with no speaker. It needs a matched guitar speaker cabinet to produce sound.
02Is 30 watts enough to gig?
For clubs and rehearsals, yes. Tube watts run much louder than the number suggests, and most stages mic the cab anyway.
03Can I use a guitar cable to connect the cab?
No. Use a speaker cable. Instrument cables are shielded and thin-gauge, and can fail or damage a tube amp under speaker-level current.
04Will it sound good at low volume?
It's usable quietly, but a tube power section gives its best feel and compression when pushed. Low-volume practice isn't where this shines.
