18 watts of Mayhemologist
My buddy Keith just got this in the mail today and since his house is being remodeled it's living at my house for a few days! Too bad, so sad.....
His came with all EH tubes, 12ax7's and 6v6GT's. This amp is set up to be able to use all octal base tubes without rebiasing. Plugged her into my 2x12 with V30/Texas Heat and first impressions were good, we plugged in my R7 into the Fender input and proceded to get good tweed deluxe tones. The Marshall side definately had a mid hump that the Fender lacked and sounded pretty good with the 6v6's. IMHO, it really came to life when I popped in my TAD 6l6 longbottles. All I can say is WOW, what soulful tone! Creamy and throaty breakup, lot's of lowend. With the 6l6's it's supposed to be putting out about 25 watts and it's bloody LOUD. Keith's got a little over $500 into it with shipping and the addition of an FX loop. He's planning on building a nice curly maple head for it in the near future. I'll post more about it later and possibly some clips if I get enough time. Can't wait to try some EL34's and KT66's!
FEATURES:
Input Jacks isolated from chassis for low noise, eddy currents, and hum.
Star ground system to reduce induced current chassis noise.
Type F (Fender) and Type M (Marshall) inputs with separate Gain controls for the unique smooth Fender 5F6 warm tones or the Marshall Plexi SLP great high mid tones....or you can use an AB-Y switch and create your own distinct tones.
Classic 60's JTM - 45 style 3-BAND TONE STACK for extended flexibility in shaping your tone.
MASTER level control so you can crank the GAIN's up and overdrive the preamp without overdriving the output tubes.
Classic Type 5F6 Style Presence control .
Unique NNFB "Edge" switch on the PRESENCE control that transforms the power amp section into a No-Negative-FeedBack style amp for more open, less compressed tones.
Post output transformer LINE OUT for driving a higher power amp, or for using this amp as a tube preamp/overdrive. Auto switching internal load if speaker is not connected.
Class AB fixed biased 6L6's in the output in place of the original Deluxe cathode biased 6V6's to give you more power and headroom. The bias is optimized using FRENZEL Multi-Valve design which allows you to use octal based 6L6 or EL34 tubes in the output stage without adjusting anything.
Power Output @ 8 ohm 25 watts
5U4 rectifier in place of 5Y3 for less sag.
Extra long (10') three prong grounded power cord.
Classic knobs and open style chassis.
STANDBY switch to turn off the plate voltage during warm-up.
Compact 12" x 8" lightweight aluminum chassis with bottom cover plate with rubber feet.
Rock solid point-to-point hand wiring using only the best of parts...low noise tubular
polypropylenes caps, metal film resistors, ceramic sockets, switchcraft jacks...etc.
Sweet vintage clean to classic overdrive tones with three different types of distortion depending on whether you are overdriving the preamp, output... or both!
