Achillies Apollo Orion 25W Combo Pre-order

The hunt is over with the Achilles Amplification Orion 25!

If you’ve ever wanted a true top shelf mix of the defining features of classic vintage era Californian amps tonefully distilled into a knockout package, then check this out…

A balanced combination of a Brownface meets Blackface preamp for textured rich overdrive, into a Bassman style 6V6 poweramp section for even more signature compression.

This is offset with a beefed up power supply similar to a Super Reverb with a solid state rectifier for more tightness and top end clarity.

Add in a true 60’s style Tube Harmonic Pulse Tremolo (NOTHING has that whirling/flange effect!), with Reverb featuring a Dwell control to feed the Reverb into the signal.

Speaker options are flexible, from the classic Jensen P12Q (mid focused bite with warm, bright highs) to the Blackbird P12/40 (deep lows, firm midrange and brilliant highs) to the high headroom P12/100 for unrivalled brilliant dimension and clarity across lows, mids and highs for both cleans and drive).

Finally, all hardwired construction using silver Teflon coated wire with USA made custom spec transformers ensures the practicalities are taken care of at the highest level.

Snare yourself a real prize with the Orion 25 - truly a hand selected mix of the defining features of a classic era.
