Product Description
Achillies Apollo-Vibe Head
Vintage Vibrolux Tone—Refined and Ready for Any Cab
The Achillies Apollo-Vibe Head is a faithful recreation of the revered 5F11 Tweed Vibrolux, delivering 10 watts of dynamic, harmonically rich tone in a versatile and compact amplifier head format.
At its core, the Apollo-Vibe Head is powered by a 6V6 output tube, a 12AX7 preamp, and a tube rectifier, creating that unmistakable Tweed-era response—tight lows, smooth midrange, and open top-end clarity. With just Volume and Tone controls, it offers touch-sensitive overdrive and classic breakup that shines with any quality speaker cabinet.
What sets the Apollo-Vibe apart is its beautifully lush tube-driven tremolo, complete with Speed and Depth controls—producing an organic, breathing pulse that no pedal can replicate. Whether used subtly or dialed up for dramatic swells, the tremolo adds a timeless vibe to any style of play.
Housed in a select pine head shell with traditional dovetail joinery and your choice of tolex, this amp head captures not only the tone but the spirit and build quality of vintage American amplifiers.
