Overview
Each of these is being hand built by Chief Engineer Dave Green in the UK Custom Shop. Hayden Amplifiers’ MF range is built on the solid foundations laid by its ancestor, the MoFo. For a decade, the flag-ship Hayden MoFo series paired classic amp construction and reliability and tone with modern build features and was designed for guitarists who seek ultimate power, tone and versatility in a small package.
Hayden Amps have retained everything that made the MoFo great and have re-launched and it with a slightly more inconspicuous name that fits in with Hayden’s more classy and established look.
Biffy Clyro, The Eagles of Death Metal and many more artists were huge fans of the original Mofo range, using them both on stage and in the studio.
The new range will appeal to an even wider range of guitarists than ever before. Hand built in England, the Hayden MF range has a whole lot of attitude. Unlike other mini guitar amp heads, Hayden’s MF range is definitely not a one trick pony. The MF-484, featuring 4 x EL84 power tubes and 3 x 12AX7 pre amp tubes produces stunning bell like clean tones with real depth, to plexi-esque classic rock crunch, right up to full on hard rock tones proving that huge tone and versatility can be found in small packages, providing enough power for gigs and rehearsals.
You can still get those valves cooking on both heads when playing at lower volumes at home and in the studio thanks to the ‘Studio’ switch, which drops the output of the amp to just 2 watts, achieving a big tone at realistic volume perfect for late night jamming without the neighbors shouting at you.
Portable yet powerful, the MF-484 punches way above its weight, with four cascaded gain stages and a foot switch-able (included) boost for yet even more gain.
