Description
BCC-Ironheart IRT120H 120W Guitar Head Amplifier
The IRT120H captures responsive, touch-sensitive dynamics across its three channels with a compact yet substantial chassis that integrates seamlessly into tracking setups and mixing workflows. Hand-crafted in the UK, this all-valve head balances vintage tube character with modern switching flexibility and connectivity, delivering the tonal depth and session versatility needed for professional recording and production work.
Tone & Electronics
Three independent channels—clean, rhythm, and lead with switchable pre-boost—are shaped by dual three-band EQ sections with pull-push controls that shift character mid-sweep, plus dedicated dynamics and reverb circuits for refined tone shaping during overdubs and mix-down. The 4 x ECC83 and 4 x 6L6 valve complement can be configured to run either 6L6 or EL34 power tubes, giving you substantial tonal flexibility from the same platform; the full 120-watt output scales down via the Watts control for responsive breakup at lower volumes, capturing articulate harmonic content across tracking levels.
Recording & Studio Integration
Comprehensive I/O includes XLR D.I. with switchable cabinet emulation for direct recording into your DAW, 1/4" FX loop for outboard processing integration, and six speaker sockets accommodating 16Ω, 8Ω, and 4Ω loads for flexible mic'd cabinet configurations. The included FS4-IRT footswitch manages channel switching and boost functions during tracking sessions, while the bundled Ironheart plug-in extends your sound design options and provides additional mixing flexibility beyond the hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch between 6L6 and EL34 power tubes?
Yes—the IRT120H is configured with 4 x 6L6 tubes as standard but can be switched to run EL34 power tubes, giving you substantial tonal flexibility from the same platform. Each tube type colors the amp's character differently while maintaining the full 120-watt output.
How does the Watts control work, and does it really let me get tube breakup at low volumes?
The Watts control scales the full 120-watt output down to lower wattages, allowing the power tubes to break up responsively even at bedroom or studio session levels. This preserves the touch-sensitive dynamics the amp is known for without forcing you to crank the master volume.
What's included in the box?
The IRT120H ships with the FS4-IRT footswitch for channel and boost switching, plus a free Ironheart plug-in software license to extend your sound design options beyond the hardware.
Can I run this directly into a mixing console or recording interface?
Yes—the XLR D.I. output includes switchable cabinet emulation, letting you record the amp's character directly without a speaker load. The 1/4-inch FX loop and aux input also integrate seamlessly with external effects and playback gear.
What genres and skill levels is this amp best suited for?
The IRT120H is built for intermediate to professional players pursuing hard rock, metal, blues, and rock tones in studio and live settings. Its responsive dynamics and flexible EQ are less suited to folk, jazz, or country styles.
