Selling my amp head because I upgraded to a full amp system.

DescriptionThe DarkHorse 15H all-tube guitar head is destined to be an instant classic. Fifteen watts of all-tube tone in a sub-compact head and cabinet combination specifically designed with the travelling musician in mind.

Simple Gain, Bass, Treble and Master controls allow easy access to the perfect amp sound on stage or in the studio. A Tonestack switch allows for either Brit or USA voicings or the "Pure" mode which bypasses the tone stack entirely, delivering a mid and overall gain boost allowing for the most direct signal path possible between your fingers and the speaker.

Selectable output power switches between two separate output stages - a higher headroom 15-watt pentode stage or a 2-watt triode stage for increased drive. A combination of 8 and 16-ohm outputs allows the DarkHorse to drive virtually any cabinet configuration.

Features:
• Selectable 12-Watt 6V6 or 0.8-Watt 12AU7 output modes
• Simple Gain, Bass, Treble & Master Volume Control Set
• "Brit/Pure/USA" Switch with the Pure setting bypassing Tone Stack (delivering a Mid Boost and Overall Gain Boost)
• Uses Hand Selected 12AX7 (x2), 6V6 (x2), and 12AU7 (x1) tubes.
• Gig bag is included.
• Made in Canada

- asked on Dec 26, 2023Answer: You could. On the rear of the DH15H you’ll find a 16-ohm output jack and a pair of 8-ohm output jacks. This allows for a variety of cabinets to be connected to your amp. Take note that the 8-ohm jacks are connected internally in parallel and want to see 8-ohms total. If two 8-ohm cabinets were connected to the DH15H, the amp would actually see a 4-ohm load. While the DH15H is capable of driving this load, you’ll actually get less output power than if you were to connect a single 8-ohm cabinet. This is due to the impedance mismatch with the output transformer. Here are some examples of how to connect cabinets to your DarkHorse: • Connect a single Traynor DHX12 (16-ohms) to the 16-ohm output jack. • Connect a pair of Traynor DHX12 (16-ohms each, 8-ohms total when connected in parallel) to the 8-ohm jacks – one cabinet per jack.
