PP12 Push-Pull 12W Amplifier

Description
The PP12 is an all-new modern EL84-powered tube amplifier design incorporating the
novel Hagerman Clipper circuit as its high-gain channel. Delivering a very clean and low-
noise 8 watts makes it ideal as a pedal platform, or 12 watts when pushed hard. There is
a half-power switch on the rear for bedroom practice. This is not your Grandfather's
amplifier! It boasts many unique features not found elsewhere, such as inductive
rectification, a contour tone control prior to clipping, the all-tube Hagerman Clipper, and
a passive analog cabinet simulator for line / headphone output. Each stage is fine-tuned
to play in harmony with the whole and the transition from clean to dirty is exceptionally
smooth, remaining under control without introducing harshness. You can crank it up
while maintaining tone and articulation. This original design sacrifices maximum power
in exchange for better tonality and behavior, not to mention longer tube life.
PP12 is available in a custom pine head, or as a combo-cab with 12" Jensen Alnico
speaker (16 x 16 x 9). My woodworking is not the best, so keep that in mind. Please
specify 120VAC or 240VAC when ordering.
