The Achillies Apollo X is a hand-wired valve combo amplifier inspired by one of the most influential vintage American amplifier circuits. Powered by a dual 6V6 output section and a 5Y3 tube rectifier, it delivers warm, open cleans, natural compression and touch-sensitive overdrive with rich harmonic detail.

With 14 watts of output power, the Apollo X offers an expressive response that transitions from clean tones to bluesy overdrive through playing dynamics and guitar volume adjustments. Featuring a Jensen P12R speaker, premium components and traditional dovetail cabinet construction, it is well suited to studio recording, home use and smaller stages. Its lacquered tweed finish completes its classic vintage character.
