This American-made amp boasts 22 watts of power and features a 12" Mojotone British Invasion Speaker, delivering a rich and dynamic sound. With high-quality components such as Hammond transformers, Sozo capacitors, and JJ tubes, the S20V is crafted to compete directly with the Fender Deluxe Reverb. It features two jumpable channels: Channel 1 provides a Big, Bright, and Bassy tone with a Bright Cap for a unique frequency boost, inspired by classic Bassman & ProAmp sounds. Channel 2, inspired by Princetons, offers a Tight, Narrow, and Articulate tone with a dedicated tone pot that provides twice the tonal sweep, perfect for cutting through a mix or pairing with Channel 1.

Designed with a nod to the iconic Tweed Era, the S20V amplifier combines a familiar aesthetic with modern features. Its high plate voltages and increased preamp headroom make it extremely pedal-friendly, while the two independently voiced channels allow for three distinct tonal options: Clean, Crunch, and Jumped/Overdrive. The amp's lightweight design and 3/4 solid pine cabinet, finished without tolex to enhance resonance and clarity, make it a standout choice for musicians seeking a high-quality, versatile, and affordable amplifier. The S20V continues Marla Amplifications' tradition of offering top-tier features at a competitive price, making it an ideal choice for players across genres like Blues, Rock, Indie, Pop, and Country.
