Description

The Mezzabarba Custom Amplification Skill 30 Head is a meticulously crafted, high powered guitar amplifier that encapsulates Italian engineering and unmistakable Mezzabarba tone in a 30W powerhouse. This portable amp, weighing just 11kg, brings a spectrum of professional grade sounds from clean tones to rich, crunchy overdrives that sustain with depth and presence. Built for versatility and transparent tone, this amp is designed for guitarists who demand premium sound in any environment.

The Mezzabarba Amps Skill 30 Head is a two channel guitar amp, thoughtfully engineered to deliver both clarity and overdrive without losing a single tonal detail. The Clean channel, inspired by Mezzabarba's M Zero Standard, is rich in harmonics and works seamlessly with pedals, featuring a Boost switch to add saturation and a Bright switch to lift mid high frequencies. The second channel, M ZERO Overdrive, produces expansive gain that moves from gritty crunch to powerful sustain, perfect for heavier rhythms and leads. Each channel’s character is preserved with Mezzabarba’s precise switching system, ensuring seamless transitions without losing dynamics or fluidity.

Inside, the Mezzabarba Amps Skill 30 Head uses five 12AX7 tubes in the preamp and phase splitter and two EL34s in the power amp, lending it a warm, British inspired sound with a bold, modern twist. The amp’s full valve effects loop is entirely transparent, allowing users to add effects without compromising tone quality. For added convenience, both channels and the effects loop are footswitch controlled, making it easy to tailor sound setups during live performances.

An innovative Power control feature allows players to achieve rich, saturated tones at lower volumes, making it ideal for both stage and home use. With its responsive EQ section, complete with Presence and Depth controls, musicians can effortlessly sculpt bass response and add brightness to mid high frequencies. This attention to detail ensures an impressive tonal range, even when dialling back volume.

Crafted to the highest standards, the Mezzabarba Amps Skill 30 Head is handbuilt in Italy, featuring a solid, durable enclosure with premium vinyl covering. With 4, 8, and 16 ohm speaker outputs, it’s designed for flexible setups, accommodating one or two speakers with various impedance options. Every component in this amp, from its oversized transformers to the gold plated contacts, is chosen to preserve sonic purity.

Whether in a studio session, a small venue, or a larger stage, the Mezzabarba Custom Amplification Skill 30 Head delivers unfiltered, room filling sound that adapts to each environment, all backed by a robust warranty and crafted with impeccable attention to quality.
