Afterglow Empire EL84 Stereo Amplifier Head

£3,650.00

A handbuilt stereo tube amplifier head with classic British character.

Empire combines the harmonic richness and immediacy of EL84 power stages with the depth and dimension of true stereo operation. Responsive and engaging, it delivers everything from articulate cleans to expressive overdrive, always retaining the feel and interaction that define great valve amplifiers.

Paired with a stereo speaker cabinet, Empire reveals its full character, creating a broad soundstage that brings stereo effects vividly to life while maintaining focus, punch and presence. Whether used as the centrepiece of a stereo rig or as a powerful standalone amplifier, Empire rewards every nuance of the player's touch.

Available with or without Spring Reverb. For customers selecting the reverb option, Empire is designed to partner with an Afterglow stereo speaker cabinet, which houses the reverb tank and associated connections as an integral part of the design.

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.

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.

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