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 use this at lower volumes without losing responsiveness?
Yes. The Watts control scales the full 120-watt output down for responsive breakup at lower volumes, so you can achieve touch-sensitive dynamics and vintage tube character whether you're in a studio or a smaller venue.
What tubes does it use, and can I swap them for a different sound?
The IRT120H comes with 4 x ECC83 preamp tubes and 4 x 6L6 power tubes. You can retube with EL34 power tubes to expand the tonal range and explore different sonic territories while keeping the same compact, portable chassis.
Can I record directly without a cabinet?
Yes. The XLR D.I. output includes switchable cabinet emulation, allowing you to record directly into your console or interface and integrate the amp seamlessly into your tracking workflow.
What channel options does it have?
Three channels: clean, rhythm, and lead—the lead channel includes a switchable pre-boost. Dual three-band EQ sections with pull-push shift controls on bass, middle, and treble give you deep tone shaping across all channels.
What speaker impedances and cabinets does it support?
Six speaker sockets accommodate 16Ω, 8Ω, and 4Ω loads across extension cabinets, giving you flexibility to match your cabinet setup and load configuration to the amp's output.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $125 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
