The evolution of the Red Hot 50: three independent channels, greater control and a tonal range extending from jazz clean to the most saturated voices.

Evolution means range

Three channels.
A complete stage.

More than an updated version: a platform able to cross styles and gain levels without losing coherence.

The Red Hot 50 Evo retains the British roots of the Red Hot 50 while radically expanding its versatility. All three channels have separate gain and master controls, while the first two use independent tone sections to shape their core voices precisely.

From transparency to fire.

The response begins with a full, defined clean suited even to jazz tones, moves through open Plexi-style crunch and reaches hot-rodded voices and denser, more saturated distortion.

Four 12AX7 valves drive the preamp, while a pair of Tung-Sol EL34s delivers 60 watts. The integrated effects loop can operate in serial or parallel mode, adapting to both ambient effects and more complex signal chains.

  • Three channels with dedicated gain and master controls
  • 60 W output stage with 2× Tung-Sol EL34
  • Switchable serial or parallel effects loop
  • Standard format and wide tonal range

Developed with the player

Paolo Pasinato × RL

The Red Hot 50 Evo was developed with Paolo Pasinato, translating real musical requirements into three independent channels and a broad range of responses.

The project was road-tested on the stages of the Maratona Rock in Santhià, where versatility, reliability and control became a practical part of its development.
