As the name implies this amplifier is designed for clas-
sic guitar tones from the 50’s to modern times. You
are able to get legendary tones from both sides of The
Atlantic that suit country, pop, rock, reggae, soul, hard
rock, alternative and every other style-name the clever
marketing people at record companies come out with.
No need for channel switching as these classic tones
from clean to distorted are easy to get by adjusting
your guitar’s volume and tone knobs.
Coming from a pedal manufacturing company
THIS
amp takes pedals VERY well
.
The amp has built-in Reverb and Tremolo for the final
old school touch.
With good care this amplifier will give you decades of
trouble free operation.

This switch works as
an AC power on/off switch and as a Standby switch.
Up position power is off, mid position is Standby and it
mutes the power amp, down the amp is on.
Use the Standby position to warm the tubes
before you turn the amps on. 30 seconds after
switching the power on is enough, after that you
can turn the amp on. You can also mute the amp
for short breaks or when switching guitars.
