OTHER FEATURES: An effects loop has been fitted to the
HEARTBREAKER
to provide for interfacing of outboard signal proces-
sors. This loop occurs electronically between the pre-amp and power section of the amplifier. This is one of the most crucial stages in
any integrated amplifier and the integrity of the sound may be adversely altered here quite easily by using less than premium quality
outboard gear. Due to the extreme sensitivity of this point in the signal path in any of the high performance tube amplifiers we build, we
recommend you try the amplifier with the processor you wish to interface with before you purchase it...in case the proces-
sor in question is mismatched in either impedance and / or sonic quality.
NOTE: The
HEARTBREAKER
is a high end professional musical instrument dedicated to delivering the purest tube tone pos-
sible. We spared no expense to assure the integrity of its all tube design and cannot accept responsibility for the degradation of its
tone due to the interfacing of compromising outboard gear.
The
HEARTBREAKER
is fitted with a SLAVE jack and LEVEL control located on the right side of the rear panel (when viewing the
unit from the rear). This feature allows you to capture the sound of both the pre-amp and power section when using the unit in a
multiple amp rig where external signal processors are fed from several amp sources and then sent to a common power amplifier and
set of speakers.
NOTE: The SLAVE jack is not a tuned recording output or cabinet simulator and should not be used as such.
The
HEARTBREAKER
2x12 Combo packs two of our custom designed Celestion 90 watt 12" speakers for faithful reproduction of
the sweet retro-minded tone. Both Combo and Head versions can accommodate a wide variety of extension cabinets and speaker
impedance loads by using some combination of the four available speaker output jacks found on the left side of the rear panel. (1 x 16,
1 x 8 and 2 x 4 ohm taps are provided)
