The Double Barrel is a two-channel amplifier (Lead and Clean) which features a sturdy plywood baffle board. Nice simple control layout too, single jack input then Lead channel’s Gain and Volume rotaries, a small push Channel Select switch to the Clean channel’s single volume rotary. Bass, Middle and Treble EQ controls next, nice and straightforward, and the final rotary is Effect Level – one small switch moves this between Delay and Reverb, while another small switch on the other side of the knob selects the onboard Chorus option. Just along from this is the Double Barrel logo, then a chunky blue Power On jewel light, and the Power toggle switch.

Round the back, under the rear panel, sit a further four jack sockets; Speaker Out, Line Out, Headphones and CD/Tape Input.
