synonymous with huge guitar sounds and this CONTOUR feature puts all the authentic power of this circuit into one easy to dial
control.
Rich all-tube REVERB enhances the spatial quality of your Express and each Channel provides an independent Reverb Mix
control so you can get the perfect blend of this beautiful effect for each of your footswitchable sounds. The Reverb effect can be
triggered on and off via the included Footswitch.
Outboard Processing is handled by the series EFFECTS LOOP, keeping patching to a minimum and protecting tonal integrity a
priority. The
Express amplifiers are compatible with most good quality processors and using this feature for all of your rack-type
effects will produce gratifying results.
Both
Express
models, the bouncy 25 watt
5:25
with its 2xEL84 9-pin power tubes and the bolder 50 watt
5:50
running 2x6L6 oc-
tal-base pentodes, feature our patented Duo-Class™ power switching. This valuable feature allows you to run the output tubes in
two different wattage ratings – very cool, but what’s amazing is this – each power mode has it’s own tone-spawning operating class
and wiring configuration! Choose the full power mode of either amp (25W in
5:25 or 50W in 5:50 ) for Class AB running in a Push-
Pull configuration for punch, authority and headroom. Then, kick down to the 5 watt mode for the ultimate in sweet clipability…
now you’re running one tube in pure Class A wired in Single-Ended configuration. Obviously we were thankful the patent office
saw the possibilities and rewarded our efforts with a patent, but what excites us is the look on players faces when they experience
this feature…hear and feel this bi-polar magic for the first time. Duo-Class™ delivers the best of these two iconic power styles in
all their authentic glory with the flick of a switch! The
Express 5:25 also features our patented Dyna-Watt™ Power that creates a
time-specific burst of headroom at the initial attack of the notes that far exceeds the rated power of the circuit and gives the
5:25
an incredible sound and feel all its own.
Now that you have an overall picture of the features in your new Express Let’s move on to the specific modes and features. Before
we go there though, you may want to check out these two sample settings to audition two basic and very different footswitching
personalities to experience the amazing versatility of this instrument.
