Hamstead Soundworks Artist 60+RT Head

Building on the amp that started it all for Hamstead, the Artist 60+RT Head’s incredible new design takes the sonic concept of Artist 20+RT to the next level of power and versatility. The marriage of the unique Hamstead Artist preamp stage with a new, fixed bias, twin EL34 output stage, brings not only extra volume and clean headroom, but enhanced dynamic range and overall flexibility, while retaining all the essential characteristics that Hamstead’s Artist Series amplifiers are renowned for.

The Artist 60+RT Head is powerful, portable and works brilliantly with pedals and guitars of all types. Add one or more of the Hamstead custom speaker cabinets for the ultimate tone champion.
