PREMISE
By developing this amplifier we had few main visions in our minds:
1 –
THE AMPLIFIER MUST SOUND GOOD IN A MUSICAL CONTEST AND NOT IN YOUR
BEEDROOM EXCLUSIVELY.
This can be hard to understand to some people, but in every step of our developing
process we recorded it through a professional studio recording system, making sure
that all useless frequencies which can fight with bass guitar, synths or maybe cymbals
in a live/recording environment are gone.
A huge quantity of useless gain and can be
a bad thing and we have taken care of this issue as well.
2 –
ALL THE DISTORTION CIRCUITS ARE 100% TUBE BASED, NO DIODE CLIPPING
HERE.
For this project we focused on dynamics. We found by having too much gain and
compression (like for example achieving this with diodes or LEDS) are totally useless for
this purpose. We
ʼ
re not judging anyone here, only to explain the idea we had on this
particular amplifier. You will not find anything like a over- saturated / over-compressed
and over-gained sound here. Nothing at all. If you are looking at this type of
monothematic distortion sounds, you better search somewhere else.
You will find only
an amp that talks the best with your pick control and volume control, capable to obtain
a multitude of sounds, even on one channel. Dynamics and control are everything for
us.
3 –
MIDS IS EVERYTHING.
The mid frequencies is where your guitar amplifier lives. This mean you need good mids
and the right frequencies to pop out of the mix without having any volume problem.
We changed quite a bit in the way that a usual mid control works in almost every guitar
amplifier. By doing this we have developed a very sensitive mid control on the distorted
channel, ensuring a very special and musical way to express this delicate frequencies.
We believe in mids, do not underestimate this frequency range, we

re serious about
this!
