Developed in the late '70s, the Classic Lead uses a
fibreglass voice coil former to deliver an 80W power rating and a unique
dynamic sound.
A firm favourite with lead guitarists, the Classic Lead features a tightly
controlled low-end, with strong high bass / low mid punch, aggressive mid range
attack and a powerful yet controlled top-end.
For power chords it has the tone to make its presence felt but the subtle
high-frequency roll- off makes it ideal for solos, able to project single notes
on loud stages without becoming shrill.
