Developed in the late '70s, the Classic Lead guitar speaker uses a fiberglass voice coil former to deliver an 80W power rating and a unique dynamic sound. A firm favorite with lead guitarists, the Classic Lead features a tightly controlled low-end, with strong high bass / low mid punch, aggressive mid range attack and a powerful yet controlled top-end.For power chords it has the tone to make its presence felt but the subtle high-frequency roll- off makes it ideal for solos, able to project single notes on loud stages without becoming shrill.
