Richie loves the simplicity of a single-channel amp where he can ride the transition from clean to crunch to lead gain from the volume pot of his guitar.

…with Footswitchable Boost

Just like stepping on your favourite full-range boost pedal, except this is another valve gain stage to take you into singing sustain.

Digital Reverb

We ve chosen a clean sounding digital reverb for the Compact Series head. Somewhere between a plate and room-style ’verb, it gives you tons of ambience.

Tremolo

One of the earliest guitar effects, tremolo can add anything from a subtle throb to full-on metronomic staccato rhythm. Footswitchable, of course.

Speaker Damping

Speaker damping works in the power section. Set it to off for increased bass response and cabinet speaker resonance. There will also be more presence high-end with speaker damping off.

Series Effects Loop

The RK50 has a series effects loop should you want to run delays, reverbs or whatever else you like after the preamp section.
