Suhr Bella 44-watt Tube Amplifier Head
Suhr · amplifier
The Suhr Bella is a 44-watt hand-wired valve head, the head-format version of Suhr's boutique amplifier, built by a company primarily known for its electric guitars. Hand-wired construction is used throughout rather than printed circuit boards, a build method associated with greater touch response and openness. As a head it drives an external cabinet rather than a built-in speaker. It suits blues, roots and classic rock players wanting Suhr's build standards in amplifier form.
