The ATTAX 50 features a newly developed pre-
amp that not only produces authentic harmonic
overdrive but also responds dynamically to your
picking style. Based on semiconductors, this inno-
vative circuitry simulates the sound-shaping ele-
ments of tube amps and delivers sound quality
unparalleled in this price range. It also provides
the dynamics demanding guitarists require for
musical expression.
CLEAN:
Depending on the preamp control settings, the
ATTAX 50 delivers a variety of contemporary and
vintage clean tones. At higher VOLUME settings,
the "SoftClick" circuitry delivers that slight edge
you would expect from a vintage tube amp. If
desired, the CLEAN channel can put out plenty of
crunch.
LEAD:
This channel delivers direct, in-your-face classic
rock sounds with a very British feel. The MID
control is a very effective sound-shaping tool; it
lets you dial in many different lead sounds. If you
drastically taper off the mids, the ATTAX 50 will
produce the unmistakable sound of modern tube
amps - ideal for tapping and heavy-duty power
chord riffing.
REVERB:
In the signal chain, the ATTAX 50 reverb section
is located after the FX loop so you can use it for
external effects and still achieve a clean reverb
sound. Additionally, the reverb level automatically
adjusts its own level when you switch between
channels, more for clean, less for lead.
