The HB-40MFX and HB-20MFX modelling practice amps are rated at 40-watts and 20-watts respectively, and have a five amp models and five effects apiece.

All the main electric guitar tone food groups are represented here, with Clean, Crunch, Lead, OD1 and OD2 amp voicings. The HB-40MFX and HB-20MFX’s DSP engine presents a respectable complement of essential guitar effects, too, with reverb, delay, chorus, phaser and modulation all available at the touch of a button, and one with one adjustable parameter per effect.

And best of all, you can save these down to four programmable presets, making the HB-40MFX and HB-20MFX two highly configurable four-channel amplifiers.

The HB-40MFX has a single 10” speaker, while the HB-20MFX is an even more compact 8” affair. Both share a simple design layout, with front panels housing controls for Gain, Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass and FX plus Master, Volume, an onboard tuner with easy-to-read LEDs, and a range of connections.
