Fuchs Clean Machine II Head
A 50/100-watt tube head built as the cleanest, most transparent clean platform in the Fuchs line, aimed at modelers, jazz and rock players wanting Mayer-style clarity.
About this amp
The Clean Machine II is Fuchs’ dedicated clean-tone platform, designed to stay transparent under pedals, modelers, or straight guitar. It pairs a flexible tone stack with a built-in digital reverb (bass, treble, decay, level controls) and a full-function series/parallel effects loop that works at pedal or line level. Available as a head or matching 112 combo, in 50W or 100W power configurations using 2 or 4 6L6 power tubes. Separate bias controls per power tube and a high-current cathode-follower drive circuit keep headroom high and the low end tight. An optional Artist footswitch adds gain, mid boost, reverb, loop bypass, and global mute on top of the standard reverb footswitch.
