Introduction:
The BV-60/6212 are all-tube, feature-packed professional stage performers' amplifiers. Rugged con-
struction, reliable American craftsmanship and two powerful channels of pure tube power are some of the
trademarks of these new and impressive pieces of musician's equipment. Both amplifiers feature two dis-
tinctly different 12AX7 tube-driven channels: one with classic tube rhythm sounds and one offering you some
of the finest lead and overdrive sounds of any stock amplifier.
Each channel features an all-tube preamp section with separate reverb level controls and three bands of
equalization for total tone control. The master Presence control lets you custom tailor the sound of your gui-
tar to suit your particular needs.
The Line Out signal is tapped directly from the speaker outputs, then attenuated and frequency-compen-
sated to replicate the sound of a miked speaker cabinet. Two pairs of speaker output jacks provide easy and
automatic impedance matching with a wide variety of cabinet configurations. The BV-60 and BV-6212 boast
a solid 60 watts of musical output power.
Features:
Here's a quick overview of the BV-60/6212's features and controls. Additional information can
be found on the pages indicated.
• Patented Channel Switching Circuitry: Achieves maximum use of each preamp tube – so unique
it’s patented!
• Boost Control: Like adding a third channel to your amp. This push-button switch gives a big boost
to the midrange frequencies and the overall gain of the overdrive channel (footswitchable) (page 4).
• Adjustable Presence Control: Fully adjustable upper harmonics level for changing the “presence”
of both channels (page 4).
• Auto-Biasing Circuitry: Want to change your sound? Change your tubes! Internal circuitry allows
the use of either 6L6 or EL34 power tubes with no bias adjusting (page 7).
• DC Filament Supply: The first preamp tube has a DC filament supply for reduced hum.
• Effects Loop: For noiseless patching of external effects, or use as a preamp out/power amp in con-
nection (page 5).
• Balanced Out Jack: Taken directly from the speaker output signal, this electronically balanced and
frequency compensated output lets you patch into house sound boards, recording consoles, etc.,
with ultimate sonic fidelity (page 5).
• Footswitch Jacks: Two separate jacks – one for channel selection and boost control and one for
reverb on/off control – allow use of a two or three-button footswitch for total control (page 5).
• Speaker Jacks: Impedance-matched speaker connectors for up to four different cabinet configura-
tions (page 5).
• High Cosmetic Appeal and Stage Presence: The unique cosmetics of the BV-60/6212 serve as
a tribute to your good taste in musical equipment.
• Musician Made in the U.S.A.
