Afterglow Empire EL84 Stereo Combo

£4,950.00

A handbuilt stereo tube combo with classic British character.

Empire combines the harmonic richness and immediacy of EL84 power stages with the depth and dimension of true stereo operation. From articulate cleans to expressive overdrive, it responds instinctively to the player's touch, delivering energy, character and musical interaction in equal measure.

Two independent preamp channels provide a versatile platform for both mono and stereo performance. Its stereo design creates a wide, immersive soundstage where reverb blooms naturally, tremolo drifts across the room, and delays and modulation acquire a new sense of depth and movement. Tube-driven spring reverb and panning tremolo complete the experience, adding atmosphere without compromising clarity or definition.

Fitted as standard with a matched pair of Celestion G10 Greenback loudspeakers, chosen for their warm midrange, musical compression and classic British voice. Alternative speaker options are available on request.

A dynamic stereo amplifier built for players who value touch, expression and unmistakable valve tone.

Fully Discrete Stereo Signal Path – Independent phase inverters and output transformers per channel for true stereo separation.

2x10" Celestion Greenback Drivers – Focused midrange, organic compression, and clear stereo imaging.

Dual British-Voiced Channels – Independent volume and tone controls for expressive, dynamic playing.

Mono / Stereo Channel Routing – Switchable for unified stereo drive or left/right channel operation with pedals.

Bias-Modulated Stereo Tremolo – Works in unison or panning mode for depth and movement across the stereo field.

EL84 Push-Pull Power Sections – Harmonically rich, touch-sensitive overdrive.

PPIMV Master Volume – Controls saturation while keeping your tone dynamic and responsive.

Tube-Driven Spring Reverb – ECL82-driven tank with tube recovery for a natural, immersive sound.
