Meet the Sound City Master Lead 50.

Not much compares to the experience of striking an open E chord when you have some tube-driven sonic heft behind you.

The heart of the Master Lead 50 is the dual-Mullard-EL34 power amp section that is designed to saturate when pushed.

Brace yourself for a paradigm shifting amplifier experience. The Sound City Master Lead 50 dares modern players to go back to rock’s brawny, tube-melting roots and experience the freedom of unbridled musical expression.

The Master Lead 50 also excels as a power house foundation for your pedals and effects. Whether straight-in or with your pedal board, the SC50 will inspire your creativity and elevate your performance.



The legendary amp for legends in the making.
