Headstrong Introduces the new Santa Cruz Series with its flagship model the Santa Cruz-5

The new Santa Cruz 5 is not a copy or replica of any one Blackface style amp but rather an amalgam of a few.  Inspired by the power section of a 5 watt, with the EQ of a higher watt amp coupled with classic tube driven spring reverb, the versatility of this amp may be just what you're looking for. 

The new SC-5 has the ability to run 3 different power or rectifier tubes without the need for a re-bias.  With a full treble/mid/bass EQ section the amp responds much like the larger blackface style amps.  Very active, you start to hear more volume of the amp once you dial in the tone controls. 

Cabinet size can sometimes be an issue with small amps, so this circuit is coupled with a larger cab found on their Lil' King model that can accommodate anything from an 8 to a 12 inch speaker.  This allows more area for the speaker to resonate inside the cab.  A line-out jack has been added on the back panel to allow for direct plug in to a recording console or PA board.  Stock cosmetics are Black tolex with Wheat cloth and blonde barrel knobs with other color options available.
