Hummingbird 15

The original Hummingbird

Inspired by iconic British and American combo amps from the 50s and 60s, the Hummingbird 15 is our original signature design that combines the thickness and touch-sensitivity of a tweed, the headroom and shimmer of a black-panel, and a good dose of British harmonics in lightweight 1 x 12 combo. Built to the highest standard, every point on the volume dial is a distinct tonal neighborhood. Crisp cleans transition seamlessly to breakup and distortion with amazing touch-sensitivity that balances a solid transient attack with singing note-bloom. The unified design of cabinet, circuit, and speaker preserves low-end focus at any volume while mid and high harmonics increase with gain. 

For pedalists and purists alike

Your pedals will love this amp. Modulations, reverbs and delays thrive on the Hummingbirds’ harmonics and sustain, while there is enough headroom for your drive, boost, and distortion pedals to pop as much as desired. Or simply dime it and use your volume control—old school. The Hummingbird is designed for full-range use and can take the heat all night long.

The sweetspot of our favorite sounds

Featuring a GZ34 rectifier and 2 x 6V6 valves, the Hummingbird 15 puts out a (conservatively-rated) 15 watts of power. Our signature High / Low tone-stack is extremely smooth, offering very targeted bass and high bands with a slight overlap in the midrange if you want to push or pull mids. In the tradition of deceptively simple controls, the Hummingbird EQ is a hybrid of American thickness with British harmonics. It can tame a stinger or clarify a muddy neck with precision that preserves early harmonics.

Choose Standard or Reverb

Select the Hummingbird 15 Standard for the essential Hummingbird sound. Or add add our signature Space Reverb, an all-tube spring reverb design that offers a bigger, more versatile reverberation effect than traditional built-in designs. Decker Spaces Reverb removes the splash and drip in favor of clarity, depth in a design that returns much more low-end without distortion.
