This tube head`s Clean preamp channel has a shimmering and sparkling sound which is very flexible and similar to traditional world famous tube guitar amps sounds from old Fender and Vox worlds. Crunch preamp channel sound palette takes us back to the golden 60`s and 70`s world famous crunching rock lead-sounds and old Marshall world. These sounds are produced by using the best components for tube amps and by a long experience of building tube amps.
When designing this amp, one goal was to create a “big” sounding, but physically small and lightweight full tube guitar amp. Combo version size is W=44 cm, H= 45 cm, D= 24 cm. It weights 12 -13 kg.
Preamp contains two independent channels with own volume and tone controls. Preamp channels can be selected with a footswitch. Both preamps are equipped with 12AX7-tubes. Power amp is based on cathode biased configuration with two 6V6GT-tubes giving some 15 W output power. This amp accepts only 6V6GT power tubes. There is no need to rebias power tubes when replacing them due to cathode bias configuration. Amp includes also a buffered tube effect loop with Send level and a footswitch.
This amp can be equipped with PPIMV, VVR, spring reverb and tremolo. You can ask an offer from me for your personal Bluetone Wizard combination.
