PRELOVED HEADFIRST Evil Joe 50w Head

PRELOVED Headfirst Evil Joe 50W Head — Mint Condition

The Headfirst Evil Joe is Joe Barresi’s custom-designed amplifier, now available as a standard production model—and this one is in mint condition. It’s a boutique, all-tube 50-watter built for players who want Plexi-style clean-to-crunch, modern switching, and a dedicated high-gain channel that can go from tight to absolutely savage, all with the feel and authority you expect from a proper EL34 power section.

With deep power-amp shaping (Depth/Presence/Response), a transparent FX loop, and a footswitchable extra gain stage, the Evil Joe is a serious pro head for studio and stage.
