50-Watt Park
Contact Us for AvailabilityBased on the vintage Park Rock Head from the 1970s, the new Park P50 Rock Head II offers what original 1980s Rock Head never offered: channel switching between both great clean and overdrive sounds with independent level control.
The Park Rock Head 50 is capable of beautiful, sparkling clean tones, overdriven Blues from a hint of OD to full-blown OD, and classic rock sounds; all at any volume level. Belying its simple control layout, the Park Rock Head 50 has some clever circuitry which allows it to perform it's magic. The clean channel offers a variety of clean tones in addition to moderate crunch. Unlike most amps with a “high gain” OD channel, the Rock Head’s OD channel’s can also be used as a second clean channel (warm and full) or produce everything from bluesy overdrive to classic rock to full blown overdrive , all with just Gain and Master controls!
A very impressive ‘tour de force’ by designer Mitch Colby.
