Product Description
Zephyr 40 Combo
If you really want to get that greasy Texas Boogie going on, then the Zephyr 40 should be your first pick. Using the hallowed AB763 circuit, this amp “floods” 40w of output via 2x 6L6 tubes into an 8Ω 1x15 C15K Jensen for sweet Southern tone to the bone.
We also have Special SRV Options available called Texas Inferno, including a second channel option with Cesar Diaz mods and a higher output transformer plus solid state rectification for increased punch and headroom.
If that's still not enough, all Zephyr amps come with our standard choices, which include Effects Loop, Half Power Switch, Reverb, and Tremolo via our Signature Achillies Tremolo Optocoupler (you won't get that authentic 3D throb from a pedal!).
The Achillies Zephyr 40 – this amp is made to sing the blues!

Organic True Bypass Series Effects Loop. No passive components involved so your tone remains the same. Half Power output option. The switch is hidden from view beneath the chassis, in between the tubes. With this setting, the amp's power consumption is reduced by 40%. Reverb and Tremolo modification available to both channels Texas Inferno Mod: Increases the amplifiers gain into early overdrive on the Volume knob and high gain saturation when pushed to the limit. Output Transformer Upgrade: Provides richer depth response, stronger attack, and improved tone clarity. Rectifier Solid State Switch when engaged bypasses the tube rectifier and results in tighter bottom end with a more noticeable response. This mod is only available with the output transformer upgrade. Various speaker options available upon request. |
