The revered Sovtek MIG-50 amplifier is back and better than ever with the Electro-Harmonix MIG-50 tube amplifier head. Boasting two channels with independent volume controls, plus a simple tone stack with treble, middle, bass, and presence controls, this MIG-50 faithfully re-creates the rich tone and sweet harmonics of the original. The preamp section preps your tone with one Mullard 12AX7 and two Tung-Sol 12AX7 tubes, while its power section packs dual Tung-Sol 5881 power tubes that conjure the aggressive grind that makes the MIG-50 a delight to turn up. Complete with 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm speaker outputs to accommodate any speaker cab configuration, the Electro-Harmonix MIG-50 amplifier is a world-class choice for generating iconic tube amp tone.
