General Information:
These guitar amplifiers have been designed
to fulfil the requirements of the modern
professional live gigging guitarist in being
able to provide a saturated and singing
soloing voice that still retains the big bottom
end punch required by so many of today's
guitar and music styles. This fat bottom end
requires a very dynamic output stage to
deliver the punch needed for muted notes
and chords in a live playing situation. This is
the reason why we have created our own
very special 'High Dynamic' solid state
output stages.
With many tube amplifiers you only get the
best solo voice when the output stage is
close to working flat out and it is then very
often too loud, so some kind of power soak
device is used to get this sound at lower
volumes, you then lose the power you
require for chords. With these amplifiers the
solo voice character comes from the carefully
designed 'all tube' pre-amp so you do not
have to be flat out for the best tone.
The big fat bottom end tone also comes from
the pre-amp but has our High Dynamic
output stage to deliver the power to the
speaker stack. You can see the power
required for different styles if you watch the
VU meter while playing. This monitors the
output power being used and you will notice
on muted chords with a fat chunky bottom
end whack that it will be peaking quite high
showing that large amounts of power are
required for this type of sound. With the
same settings try a screaming solo line and
you will see the power drop right back. This
demonstrates exactly what we are saying,
that old style amps are great for screaming
solo lines but give upon modern 7 string fat
chords.
Our CLEAN channel is also very clean
allowing you to go instantly from huge body
crunching chords and screaming solo leads
to crisp and sparkling arpeggio chords that
ring out with an unbelievable clarity.
Also supplied with these amplifiers is (bit of
high tech here) a dedicated 4 way footswitch
on a single jack lead (so no more fiddling
with multiway connectors). LED indication on
the footswitch itself is provided so you
always know the current status without
having to look at the amplifier. Footswitch
provides control for Channel I/Channel 2,
Channel 2 Boost, Master I/Master 2 and DSP
Effects In/Out.
For extended low end and maximum 'Punch'
it is recommended that these amplifiers be
used with a 4x12 closed back cabinet.
