Brunetti Singleman H 50/15/2W Head 230
Brunetti · amplifier
The Brunetti Singleman H 50/15/2W Head is the head-chassis version of the Singleman with switchable output power of 50W, 15W, and 2W. Handbuilt by Brunetti in Modena, Italy, it uses a single-ended tube topology for its characteristic even-harmonic saturation and natural compression. The three power modes allow the single-ended output tubes to be pushed into saturation at different volume levels — from stage-level 50W through studio-useful 15W to bedroom-friendly 2W. Point-to-point construction to Italian boutique standards.
