Product Description
Achillies Apollo P30
The Apollo P30 is a bold, harmonically rich amplifier designed for players who crave organic breakup, touch sensitivity, and unmistakable vintage character. Built around a classic American-inspired circuit philosophy, the P30 delivers thick cleans, smooth compression, and a natural transition into warm, musical overdrive as the volume is pushed.
At lower settings, the Apollo P30 produces wide, open cleans with a soft top end and a full, rounded low response. Digging in brings out complex overtones and a spongy, responsive feel that reacts effortlessly to pick attack and guitar volume controls. As the amp is driven harder, it moves into a thick, harmonically dense breakup that feels alive and expressive—never harsh, always musical.
The power section is voiced to emphasize dynamic sag and bloom, making the P30 exceptionally forgiving and inspiring to play. Notes feel elastic under the fingers, chords compress naturally, and single-note lines sing with sustain and character. This makes the Apollo P30 equally at home in the studio, on stage, or paired with pedals where it serves as an exceptionally rich tonal foundation.
True to Achillies standards, the Apollo P30 is meticulously handbuilt with premium components and careful attention to layout, grounding, and signal integrity. The result is an amplifier that not only captures the essence of early electric guitar tone, but delivers it with modern reliability and consistency.
