The Aedan is Cathode-biased EL34 creation. It's kinda like I took the front end preamp off my Franklin and combined it with power section of my Edana 45. But, instead of using the fixed bias design on the Edana 45, I decided to go with a cathode biased designed. The harmonics just leap off your guitar and fingers. Aedan is designed to be overdriven. But, it's not that fizzy gain that I can't stand. It's just more melodic to my ears. It really makes me smile. (A LOT!)
I was worried that I had only created a higher gain version of the Franklin. But just like little Frankie, there are some wonderful chimey cleans just a twist of the knobs away., no matter the volume. The Treble and Bass controls are highly interactive. This is an amp that takes a bit of time to get to know. There are a multitude of tones to be found. The Cut control is in the power section is is most effective when the Master is above 50%.
PS This amp had a name change to avoid some confusion with another amp maker. So, don't let the photos mislead until I get another faceplate burned.
Tubes are 2xEL34, 1x5AR4 and 3 12AX7's. 35 watts.
Using an old Lotus Strat, original pickups. Hit the neck and bridge pickups on the demo... Love the amp!, Reminds me of my Carlsbro heads a bit.
