Suhr · amplifier

The Suhr SL67 MKII is a 50-watt, hand-wired amp head running 3x12AX7 preamp tubes and 2xEL34 power tubes, offering an OFF/HI/LOW power select switch, Presence, Bass, Middle, Treble, and dual Volume controls, plus FAT and BST toggle switches and a 3-way BRT switch across four inputs. Modeled on the plexi-era British voicing associated with 1967 Marshall circuits, it's the smaller-output sibling to the SL68 MKII, aimed at players wanting classic British amp character with Suhr's hand-wired build quality at moderate stage volume.
