ValveTrain PowerTrain Studio 20
A powered cab that adds real tubes to your digital signal chain, ValveTrain’s handwired class AB PowerTrain Studio 20 boasts a 12AX7 preamp tube, two 6V6 power tubes, and a single volume knob. Inserting glowing glass right before the sound hits the speaker is a great idea, and the 20-watt unit is impressively loud. If you live in the digital world, here’s how to add tube warmth to your setup.
