Key Features
The SubZero Saturn-15VR Tube Amp Head offers an abundance of power in a compact form. Incredibly versatile, this 15W amp head is capable of providing a broad range of tones to suit a whole host of musical styles and genres. From Jazz to Blues, and Rock to Pop, you'll be able to tweak your sound to perfection with the integrated 3-band EQ, whilst the all analog design, including three 12AX7 and two EL84 valves ensures maximum signal integrity for rich, thick full-bodied tones.
Built for any occasion. The inclusion of a "High/Low" is a key asset to the Saturn-15VR, enhancing its playability by allowing you to choose between a solid 15W output to project your sound and a 1W output, perfect for achieving "break-up" style tones without excessive volume levels. Take advantage of the FX loop for maximum control over your sound, enabling you to split your pedal chain between pre and post preamp. Merge all these exciting features with the authentic analog spring reverb and you've got an exceptional amp head at a price which won't break the bank! This bundle also includes a 1 x 12" Celestion equipped cabinet and speaker cable.
Please Note: Ensure that you order from your current location as this will determine the plug of the cable that ships with the Saturn.

Achieving a wide range of tones couldn't be easier with the Saturn-15VR. Thanks to the three fixed frequency bands you'll be a few tweaks from achieving your dream sound. All three EQ points were specifically chosen for their musicality to ensure your approach to sculpting feels instinctive. Instantly add weight to your sound with "bass", achieve presence with "middle" and apply the perfect finishing sheen with "treble". The inclusion of a "Tone" knob gives you control over the fidelity of your signal, lower values are great for "Lo-Fi" styles whilst higher values provide a thick, full-bodied sound.
When the Saturn-15VR is connected to your speaker cabinet "High" mode (15W) provides a powerful output that allows you to project your sound in small to medium sized performance spaces without needing the support of a microphone and PA. If you desire cranked amp tones at reasonable volumes then be sure to switch to "Low" mode (1W). This is ideal for home recording scenarios.
Perfect for pedal users, the SubZero Saturn-15VR Tube Amp Head includes an integrated FX loop. This gives you an incredible amount of control over your tone, allowing you to determine whether pedals in your chain are inserted pre-or post preamp. You'll find this particularly useful for separating your reverbs, delays and modulators from your distortion and overdrive pedals for maximum clarity, especially if you're a fan of rack-mounted effects as the loop helps to minimise the risk of signal degradation.
The Saturn-15VR boasts an all analog spring reverb. In contrast to digital, the best part of an analog reverb is your performances will never sound the same twice. The spring will respond to the way that you play, adding a unique sense of depth and dimension to your sound. When merged with the warmth and richness of valve amplification, achieving a broad range of tones using the 15VR couldn't be easier, from Brit Rock crunch to American high gain - any sound is just a couple of tweaks away.
At the rear of the head you'll find a reverb footswitch input (no pedal included), this will be a real asset when it comes to live performance. This allows you to switch between a dry/wet sound without having to touch the head.
When you're regularly recording and performing you need an amp head you can rely on. That's why the Saturn-15VR features protection guards on each corner, these help minimise the risk of bumps and knocks from compromising the head's performance, ensuring a solid, consistent sound without compromise. What's more, the four rubber feet on each corner of the base eliminate the possibility of undesirable vibrations and prevent the head from marking the surface it's placed on. The inclusion of a sturdy carry handle allows you to transport the Saturn-15VR from your car to the venue with absolute ease.
The SubZero 1 x 12" Celestion Vintage 30 Cabinet is the perfect pairing with any amp head. Equipped with a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker, this cabinet is able to handle powerful, overdriven tones at loud volumes whilst maintaining absolute clarity.
The SubZero cabinet offers the same level of build quality as many high-end cabinets at a cost effective price. Thanks to its 18mm ply construction the 1 x 12" cabinet provides a lively, punchy sound perfect for a wide range of styles and genres. Wrapped in tough black tolex, this ensures maximum security by protecting the speaker inside from superficial damage for a solid, consistent performance without compromise.
SubZero's 1 x 12" cabinet comes equipped with a Celestion Vintage 30 speaker. Featured on many seminal albums, the Vintage 30 has been embraced by the likes of Slash (Guns n' Roses, Slash's Snakepit Velvet Revolver), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol, Michael Jackson, Robert Palmer) and Peter Frampton (Humble Pie, Peter Frampton). Renowned for it's upfront mid-range, warm low-end and articulate top-end, there's good reason why it's featured in many high-end cabinets.
