NEW EMBEDDED RELEASE!
Give Your Rig the Best Start with the Headfirst ALTA P1 Torpedo Embedded Preamp
New-for-2025 tri-channel direct to DAW, FOH or FRFR solution—no other outboard gear required
The Alta P1 all-tube preamp is the ultimate hybrid solution for guitarists seeking the touch sensitivity and tonal richness of real tubes, combined with the portability and versatility of digital modeling. This 3-channel, MIDI-switching analog preamp, paired with the class-leading Torpedo Embedded digital backend, delivers a powerful direct-to-console, DAW, or FOH experience that seamlessly blends analog warmth with digital precision. Developed by Jason Tong in response to Slipknot’s Jim Root’s need for a compact, lightweight, and tour-ready alternative to his Alta100 tube heads, the Alta P1 maintains the responsiveness, clarity, and articulation of a full amp rig at any gain level—while adding extensive new features that make it a standout choice for touring professionals, studio musicians, and players seeking a modeller replacement.
Introducing The Headfirst DynIR Cabinet Collection
Australian-built. British-inspired. Digitally immortalised.
For guitarists seeking the ultimate expression of British-voiced cabinet design, the Headfirst DynIR Cabinet Collection brings together a curated lineup of official Headfirst and classic cabinet captures, meticulously recorded using world-class microphones and premium studio-grade outboard. From the unmistakable midrange snarl of Greenbacks to the focused aggression of Vintage 30s, and the refined articulation of Creambacks, every cabinet in this release has been captured to deliver unparalleled realism, harmonic richness and depth.
Each DynIR in the Collection showcases a unique facet of British tone — from HeadFirst’s own production models like the Origin Cream 75 and Origin Cream 65, to the classic early-’90s Marshall® “B” and Soldano® 4×12 cabinets that have long been among HeadFirst’s favourite references, used extensively to help voice their amplifier designs over the years. Whether you’re chasing open, harmonically rich cleans or saturated high-gain power, the Alpha Collection delivers authentic, dynamic sonics that respond with the same nuance and feel as the real thing!
