Tonal nirvana!

The Superdrive Series II Head gives you wide range of tones, covering everything from clean to crunch! Powered by KT66s, the Superdrive Series II Head provides a great mix or articulation, responsiveness, and high-gain tones to satisfy any guitarist's quest for tone. Late '60s bluesy tones are easily attained, but push the amp a bit harder and high-gain Plexi-style metal tones are right there at your fingertips. For jazz, blues, rock, metal, and beyond, the Superdrive Series II Head is the path to tonal nirvana!

Budda Superdrive Series II 45-watt Guitar Head at a Glance:
  • World-famous Superdrive Series II amplifier
  • Two channels give you a mad range of tones

World-famous Superdrive Series II amplifier
The Superdrive Series II amplifier line is handcrafted in the US and is the new voice of Rock! These amps have shaped the sound of many of today's platinum rock records. From artists like the Foo Fighters, Buckcherry, Good Charlotte, Stone Sour, Robert Randolph, The Exies, and Matchbox 20, the Superdrive delivers a unique tone that's both powerful and bold.

Two channels give you a mad range of tones
The Superdrive Series II's rhythm channel packs plenty of punch and dynamics, just like Budda's famous Twinmaster circuit. The bite and complex overtones of the KT66 tubes makes for a very expressive amplifier, super sensitive to touch and pick attack. Then, on the hi gain channel, you've got a complex overdrive, taking you from creamy blues tones to full-on metal crunch. Plus, the master doesn't choke the amp, so you get plenty of touch-sensitive sustain at low volume settings.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
