HYLIGHT Generation X Custom Shop Dual Channel GENX 50H Head 

We have transformed the classic 50W head into a conqueror to offer guitar players more versatility and a wide tone palette dialled into very few controls, this all point-to-point amp features meticulous original style hand-wiring plus additional hand-wired EFFECTS LOOP, LINE OUT and power attenuator. This 50 Watt Head is made entirely in UK with the best available components for those guitar players that want a mixture of pure and classic Hylight sound in a 50W format, along with a foot switchable boost channel.  

The GENX 50H features a pioneering design in response to a high demand for a standard format amplifier with more gain, and incorporates 2 x EL34 valves in the power stage which defines the Holy Grail sound of British Amplification. This is the most sought after Class A/B amp in our Custom Shop range, which produces uneven harmonics, but with a renowned attack and clarity. 

Hylight Electronics made high quality amps during the 60's, along with other well known manufactures of the period, that were largely responsible for shaping the sound of British rock during the 60's, 70's and beyond. Bands such as Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, the Rolling Stones, and The Who have all used Hylight made amps to help create their legendary sounds. With their military-spec chassis, point-to-point wiring, and marine-grade Hylight cabinets. Hylight made amps are also well known for being very solidly built, and long lasting.
