Frequently Asked Questions

The 'D' profile is a modern, comfortable shape – thinner than a vintage 'C' – and feels quite similar to what you'd find on guitars costing significantly more, although the finish might not be as refined.
These are definitely biased towards higher gain – think modern metal and hard rock. While they're versatile, they truly shine when pushed with distortion and drop tunings.
The 20W combo is sufficient for bedroom practice and quiet rehearsals, but will struggle to be heard in a louder band setting or a larger venue; consider an external amp for those situations.
