Hylight Custom 50 2x12 Combo Model VR504-212F/C
HYLIGHT VR504C-212C Custom Shop 50W Combo Vintage Reissue Series Class A/B Made in England
We have transformed the classic 50W combo into a leader to offer guitar players more versatility and a wide tone palette dialed into very few controls, this all point-to-point amp features meticulous original style hand-wiring plus additional modern features like EFFECTS LOOP and LINE OUTPUT. This 50 Watt combo is made entirely in the UK with the best available components for those guitar players that want a pure and classic Hylight sound in a 50W combo format, along with the extra modern features.
The VR504C features a pioneering design in response to a high demand for a standard format amplifier with features for the modern player, and incorporates 2 x EL34 valves in the power stage which defines the Holy Grail sound of British Amplification. This is the most sought after Class A/B combo amp in our Custom Shop range, which produces uneven harmonics, but with a renowned attack and clarity.
Hylight Electronics made high quality amps during the 60's, along with other well known manufactures of the period, that were largely responsible for shaping the sound of British rock during the 60's, 70's and beyond. Bands such as Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, the Rolling Stones, and The Who have all used Hylight made amps to help create their legendary sounds. With their military-spec chassis, point-to-point wiring, and marine-grade cabinets, Hylight amps are also known for being very solidly built.
