Product Description

Zephyr 40 Head

The Zephyr 40 should be your first choice if you're really looking to start that greasy Texas Boogie. With two 6L6 tubes and your choice of speaker placed in our Priam 1x15" cabinet, this amp "floods" 40w of output using the revered AB763 circuit for rich, deep Southern tone.

Additionally, we provide Special SRV Options known as Texas Inferno. These options include solid state rectification for more punch and headroom, a higher output transformer, and a second channel option with Cesar Diaz modifications.

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!

Optional Features

Head and Combo Available

A wide selection of tolex covering, grille cloths, and handle colours are available; for a complete list of all the possibilities, please see our customs options page.

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.
