Sound City SC-40C

A truly great name in British amplification makes its return to the UK. Sound City Mark 6 Series are valve amps - glowing, glowering and growling. These amps are not ‘sound-a-like’ or ‘Valve-o-tronic’ (or whatever). These are the real deal.

All feature 12AX7 preamp valves for that fantastic ‘hooligan’ British tone, but there are subtle differences through the range, with EL84 power-amp section valves employed in the SC20C and SC40C, and 6L6GC’s in the SC30C and SC50H - so you may just have to try them all out to find your perfect rig.


With 2x12” speakers and 40w of roaring valve-power, the SC40C is built for gigging. Clean and Overdrive channels plus Master Volume, and enough decibels to worry the noise-police, this is a monster (and the coolest-looking combo on the circuit).
