a substantial amount of mid boost as well as mid cut.
The result of this opens up a whole new range of sound
possibilities that we think you will enjoy. For instance using
the mid boost capability gives rise to some very sweet
singing sustain – great for blues and fusion.
The preamplifier’s twin channel output is then mixed into
the FX loop and digital Reverb system. This section is
unashamedly solid state as this section is designed to be
as transparent as possible in passing all the valve tone
of the preamp to the input of the all tube power amplifier
section, whilst handling the duties of efficient real world
FX loop connection, digital reverb connection, and noise
free seamless channel switching.
In MIX mode a Balance control allows the MIX level to
be adjusted higher or lower than the A/B volume level
enabling the MIX to be used as a Lead boost for instance.
The TCT50/100 power amplifier uses a 12AX7/ECC83
phase splitter and either 2 or 4 off EL34 output valves
respectively for classic high power guitar amp punch.
The power amp section can be switched between two
feedback networks. Loose gives a raw, open, vintage style
to the sound with lots of player feel and tactile response.
Tight gives a much tighter modern response to the sound
and feel.
The output section can also be run at 33% (approx 16.5
watts for TCT50, and 33watts for TCT100) of its total
output power for those situations when flat out really is “too
loud”!
The TCT50C combo comes complete with two of our own
designed and built Albion loudspeakers.
