Our patented Progressive Linkage™ provides five different all-tube power amplifiers which you can harness in any combination to the King’s four preamp channels to create – not a cyber mock-up, but the real, authentic circuits found in those classic amplifiers.

Once in a while a product comes along that redefines its genre, changing the way we think, and ushering in a new era. The Road King™ does just that.

This seriously over-the-top Recto® offers four discreet channels that each house an incredible three modes of hyper-tuned pre-amp expression.

    Brandon,
    Electronically speaking, they are exactly the same. You still get the same great 4 channels (12 modes), patented “Progressive Linkage” power tube switching technology, assignable speaker outputs, two assignable series effects loops, etc. In addition, with the combo you get a 212 open-back cab. The head Pronets for $2749.00 and the combo Pronets for a mere $200 more ($2949.00). I own and love the RoadKing. Can’t think of a more versatile all tube amp. Thanks for your question.

    I was just wondering what are the differences between the Roadking head and the Roadking Combo despite the obvious; the latter comes with speakers? Are there any features that the combo doesn’t have versus the head? What are the prices of both?
