The amp is powered by three 12AX7 preamp tubes and two Ruby Tubes 6L6GC output tubes, and comes with a two-button footswitch to engage the preamp boost and overdrive functions. 

A rear-panel international line voltage selector accommodates 100V, 120V and 230V AC lines.

The D-50H is available for $849.99. For more information, head to VHT (opens in new tab).
