Designed specifically for musicians who play church music, the Scarlett 30 allows those players to achieve the same tone as Nigel with an amplifier that is fully featured, very affordable and offers many of the features that church players need on a weekly basis.

“When I first started talking to Brad about building a signature model amplifier, we both agreed that we would base it on the AC30 Top Boost. I have been mostly happy with the Vox and Matchless amps I used for most of my career, but there were a couple of changes I knew I wanted to make to really customize my tone.”

“First off, I knew I wanted the amp to have a mid-range control. I find that many players have either too much or too little mid-range in their sound, and the inclusion of a Mid control with a Top Boost type amp really addresses this. I was surprised at how versatile it made the amp to be. I can dial up any tone from chimey cleans, jazz, country to rock all in one amp!”

POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT. FLEXIBILITY WHEN YOU DON’T.

“Second but more importantly, I wanted to create an amp for players that would perform flawlessly at low levels, and a suggestion that Brad made was to include power scaling to help tame the overall volume. I love the fact that with the power scaling you can roll the volume back for a small room or crank it in a stadium without any tone loss! The amp retains the sponginess of the tube rectifier and still has incredible attack even when running it at 1/8W! The amp is also super responsive. Whether I play delicate or heavy handed, the amp responds accordingly regardless of where the power is set.”

CLEAN HEADROOM.

“Finally, what I also love about this amp is the amount of headroom it has. Since I use a lot of pedals, I wanted something to be able to handle whatever I throw in front of it. Whether you’re searching for a super clean tone or something far more gritty, the Scarlett 30 achieves this effortlessly.”

PROVEN PERFORMANCE.

“Brad and I have gone through several revisions of the Scarlett 30 over the past year to really fine tune it and I think you’ll be very pleased. I certainly am. If you are looking to replicate my tone, the Scarlett 30 does it. It’s what I’m using and will be using for many years to come.” – Nigel Hendroff, Hillsong Australia
