65amps VENTURA FRONT PANEL
Tubes
:
The Producer tube complement consists of two 6v6
tubes.
Channels
:
The Producer has two channels, The Color Channel
and the Bump circuit, totaling to four voices that are all
accessible through a standard 2-button foot-switch.
Master Voltage
Our master voltage emulates the tonal response of a
big amp only at low volumes. The “Master Voltage”™
knob reduces the B+ voltage and output in the amp in
a unique way that keeps the internal tube relationships
perfect while keeping the filament voltage up. After
seeing all other power schemes’ shortcomings, we’ve
come at this from a different angle and we’re very
pleased with the results. You can dial this amp down to
3 watts output WITHOUT losing tone, feel, vocabulary,
authority, etc.
FX Loop
- The passive effects loop comes out on a pair
of jacks, allowing the user’s own effects to be added
after the preamp stage.
Bump Control
The Bump™ control is a much more effective alterna-
tive to traditional channel switching. The Bump™ al-
lows the user gain-up and re-slope the amp’s tone stack
allowing much more midrange to flow through the
circuit; thereby gaining up the entire amp naturally and
not inducing false preamp gain that creates fizz and
buzz. The end result is the effect of having two amps in
one.
Tone controls
:
The Tone control for the channel is passive cut-style.
We recommend starting at “10” and backing off.
With brighter single-coil guitars, the mid’s will focus
really well with the TONE set back around “5 to 8”.
ON/Standby
- Best to turn the POWER switch on
first before the Standby and wait about 10 seconds
before turning Standby on. This will prolong tube
life. When turning the amp off, turn POWER switch
off first. This allows the power to drain out of the
amp circuit. You can turn off the Standby switch later
before turning the amp back on.
