Hummingbird 20

Hummingbird 20

20 watts, all-tube power scaling, and 3-space reverb. More is better.

Inspired by iconic British and American combo amps from the 50s and 60s, the Hummingbird 20 is a bomb-proof workhorse in an neo-classic form. Built to the highest standards, 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. 

You'll love the Hummingbird 20 if...

  • you find the deluxe reverb a bit stiff but a tweed deluxe is too limiting
  • you love the singing quality of an AC-30 but it is too loud and your boosts, distortion and fuzz pedals get squashed
  • you want rich harmonics, signing cleans, and sweet note bloom, but also who need punch and enough headroom for gain pedals
  • you like to hit your amp hard with boost, overdrive and distortion pedals and really hear the output tubes working
  • you need power attenuation that preserves the sound of a cranked amp without having to resort to load-boxes or master volumes that don’t really work well
  • you want to use the same amp for live gigs, rehearsal, and even at home
  • you want an amp that is seriously road-worthy, serviceable and backed by a great warranty that includes regular service checks

The Hummingbird 20 ships standard with the Decker Royal Ceramic Speaker. Forour Jubilee AlNico speaker can be . The Hummingbird custom padded-cordura amp cover is included with your amp at no additional charge.
