The Suhr Hedgehog 50 Head casts a wide sonic net with its unique combination of cascaded gain stages, programmable voicings and a series/parallel effects loop. This modern yet classic-sounding amp offers players a myriad of tones from clean to overdriven, all from a streamlined single channel design. The Hedgehog's flexible controls enable you to easily shape your tone on the fly to suit any musical need.

Shape Your Sound With Programmable Voicing Switches

Unlock a plethora of tones with the Hedgehog's voicing switches, which are conveniently accessible from the front panel. Choose from an overdrive gain stage, two levels of deep bass boost, mid boost and bright boost. Save your favorite combinations as presets for instant recall, either via the included footswitch or a MIDI controller. Whether you need sparkling cleans, vintage crunch or modern high-gain fury, the Hedgehog puts customizable tone right at your fingertips.

Cascaded Gain Stages Take You From Clean to Overdrive

The Hedgehog's preamp features cascaded gain stages that take you from pristine cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive. Dial in the amount of gain you need for your desired playing style. At lower settings, you'll get shimmering clean tones perfect for chordal work and fingerpicking. As you increase the gain, the amp begins to saturate, responding beautifully to your pick attack. At maximum overdrive settings, sustain abounds and harmonics bloom for searing lead tones.

Flexible Effects Loop Offers Series and Parallel Modes

Further expand your tonal options with the Hedgehog's programmable effects loop, which can be run in series or parallel modes. In Series mode, your time-based effects like delay and reverb sit post-preamp for a traditional setup. The Parallel mode places modulation effects like chorus, flanger and phaser after the preamp, blending wet and dry signals for enhanced depth and dimension. The loop's mode is easily selectable from the front panel or via MIDI.

Built From Premium Components For Reliability

The Hedgehog pairs point-to-point wiring with premium components selected for tone, reliability and serviceability. The preamp gets its gain from four 12AX7 tubes, while the bold 50W power section uses a pair of 5881 tubes. The amp's clean headroom means your tone stays tight and focused, even at higher volumes. Bring the Hedgehog's extensive tonal palette to your rig and unlock inspiring new sounds.
