With sound far bigger than its chassis or wattage level would suggest, Ampeg's GVT5H guitar amp head rocks with 12 AX7 tone in a simple package.
Overview
Ampeg's GVT5H all-tube guitar head delivers simple, sweet tone that ranges from the sublimely clean to the down and dirty. The tone and power of the GVT5H are much bigger than you might think, with 12AX7/ 6V6 tubes and two power modes (5W / 2.5W), so you can dial in thick gain at neighbor-friendly volumes. Add in multiple outputs at different impedances and vintage Ampeg looks and you've got an ultra-portable, but super powerful all-tube head that always delivers straight up Ampeg guitar tone.

"Best apartment recording amp for money"
Verified Customer

I have owned A Lot of amps/cabinets and pedal combinations. I had a fender frontman 212,(too lifeless and solid state ish harsh high end) a blues junior (too harsh high end fizzy when overdriven), an ampeg reverberrocket 50 watt with 412 cabinet (actually a great amp from the 90s til it broke) I then bought an orange th30, this amp was spectacular in loud environments, so much sparkle and great crunch, but it was way too loud for playing at home. I bought a vox night train cabinet and isolated it and this helped but it was still way too loud for company....so I sold the orange and have been looking for a low wattage amp for recording in my project studio. I tried a vox ac4, this was not clean at all, and the distortion was fizzy and weird. I tried a black star ht5 it was okay on the clean but the overdrive was too metal for me, plus I use pedals for my gain sound. I tried the ampeg and it was awesome. It has so much clean headroom. You can plug your pedal board directly into the input and get a nice clean representation of your tone. I paired it with an eminence red coat private jack and its nice and warm when clean can get a mild natural crunch when cranked and I use a tech 21 Oxford for an orange amp crunch. It still needs the isolation cabinet but you can't hear it outside of the room and that is what I love. Great cranked amp sound at reasonable neighbor/wife friendly volumes. Best amp for a good clean tone I've ever owned.
Musical Background:
I lead worship at church and write progressive rock on the side for fun, play an am. Deluxe tele, and a 72 deluxe reissue
