VR20H
The Custom 20W amp was re-designed in response to the high demand for a smaller format amplifier with added features for the modern player: EFFECTS LOOP and LINE OUT. The Custom 20 amp produces even harmonics but with more attack and clarity. It is hand-wired in our Custom Shop, point-to-point with meticulous original wiring. This 20W Head is made in England with the best available components for those guitar players who are looking for a classic British sounding amp based on the early 70’s.

Hylight Electronics made high quality amps during the 60's, along with other well known manufacturers 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.
