An extension of the classic VHT brand retro amplifier, the Special 6 Head is a compact, low-wattage, all-tube head. It retains the same classic configuration but offers greater portability, allowing players to pair it with different speaker cabinets.

Like the combo, it emphasizes handwiring, resembling a handcrafted art piece, yet maintains a classic retro appearance. This reflects the Special 6 series' core philosophy: a good tube amp is about sound, not fashion. Tube amps are not trendy, yet guitarists universally adore their warm tone, delicate dynamic response, and exceptionally comfortable feedback—like a conversation.
The Special 6 Head shares the same configuration as the combo: one 12AX7 preamp tube, one 6V6 power tube, and a pull-boost for increased gain. Its simple controls and functionality make it ideal for beginners exploring tube amps, capable of producing surprisingly good tones.


Recommended for bedroom musicians and studio recording, its low wattage effectively drives large speakers, meeting recording needs without excessive volume.
