Atom Hybrid GB-200 Head

Can a tube amplifier sound with the power and transparency of a solid-state, weigh only 2.5 kg, and fit in a briefcase? Yes, if it’s called the Atom Hybrid GB-200.

Born to meet the needs of professional bassists, but also loved by modern guitarists, the GB-200 is a one-of-a-kind hybrid head. The two-ECC83-tube preamplifier, powered by high voltage like the great classics of the past, is paired with a 200-watt ICE Power power amp: a combination that guarantees warmth, punch, dynamics, and tonal precision, all in an ultra-light and completely handwired format.

The active controls are simple yet extremely effective. Every detail of the circuit has been designed to achieve controllable tube saturation, harmonically rich sounds, and a versatility perfect for jazz, blues, rock, but also for those seeking open and modern tones.

Everything is enclosed in a compact aluminum chassis and supplied with a shockproof case: an amplifier ready to travel, built to be played seriously.
