Dv Mark DV LITTLE GH 250 GUITAR AMP HEAD SIGNATURE GREG HOWE 250 W

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The DV Little GH 250 fits within DV Mark's DNA: offering very lightweight guitar amps in a "lunchbox" format without sacrificing power or sound clarity. Developed in collaboration with Greg Howe, this head emphasizes fast response, precise dynamics, and smooth saturation, while remaining extremely easy to transport. Within the lineup, it is positioned as a solid state performance-oriented solution (rehearsal, studio, large stage), featuring a minimalist design and instantly usable controls.

Who This Amp Is For

This guitar amp head is aimed at intermediate to professional level guitarists who want a powerful, reliable amp that's quick to dial in. It is ideal for rehearsal (effortless volume and projection), studio use (clean tones and defined leads, easy to place in the mix), and especially for stage thanks to its power reserve and direct connectivity (Pre Out, effects loop, footswitch).

In terms of styles, the DV Little GH 250 excels in fusion, rock, prog, shred, and all music where a sharp attack, clear note definition, and singing leads are sought. It also works very well as a pedalboard platform if you shape your saturation via overdrive, distortion, or external preamp pedals.

Features and Innovations

The DV Little GH 250 offers 2 channels, each with a full set of controls: Gain, Bass, Mid, High, and Level. This "two channels, two EQs" approach is a real advantage in real-world situations: you can keep a balanced clean (with the right amount of bass and presence) while sculpting a lead channel that's more mid-focused, tighter, or conversely wider depending on your guitar and cabinet.

For space and depth, a built-in reverb is included, useful for thickening a clean tone or adding dimension to solos without needing a dedicated pedal. The amp also features an effects loop with 2 x 6.35mm Jack connectors (Send/Return), ideal for placing delays, additional reverbs, or modulations after the amp's saturation. Finally, the Pre Out (with a -6/0 dB switch) facilitates sending the signal to a mixing console, monitoring system, another power amp, or a recorder, adapting the output level to your audio chain.

Sound Character

The DV Little GH 250 is a transistor preamp head designed to deliver a sound that is both direct and musical: a sharp attack, excellent definition, and a controlled feel under the fingers. The clean channel targets clarity and headroom: perfect for open chords, funky riffs, chorus/delay sounds, or as a base for gain pedals. The lead channel is designed for "smooth" and precise saturation, with notes that remain clear in fast phrases, dynamic shifts, and legato playing.

Carrying Greg Howe's signature, it embodies a very "modern guitar hero" philosophy: a sound that retains speed, presence, and clear articulation even as gain increases, without becoming muddy. If you love singing leads, expressive bends, and fusion phrases where every nuance counts, this head is clearly in its element.
