50 Watt Updates 2

I have completed the prototype 50 watt amplifier!

It has all of the tonal range of my smaller amplifiers, with much more headroom and very powerful bass.  The bass is very clear and never muddy, while the highs have a nice sparkle to them that’s always lively and never overpowering.  The tone controls still allow you to greatly dial back the bass and highs for a “lo-fi” sound.

The increased headroom and strong, clear bass with a dialed down treble allows authoritative jazz tones that weren’t possible on the smaller amplifiers.  The sparkle in the highs make your guitar sing, whether it’s clean or crunchy or fuzz*.  The rectifier sag adds a touch of compression to give that sustain, or switch over to solid state for greater punch and attack.

With 6L6s, the amplifier has greater headroom and stronger bass.
With EL34s, the gain is increased and the midrange can be driven into a nice crunch.
†No adjustment/biasing needed to switch tube types!

This amplifier has the tonal range of 4 amplifiers, and it does this with only 4 knobs!

Tube count: 6
Transistor count: 0

The art of simplicity, the science of versatility, and the magic of music.

*The High Gain option will be standard in the 50w model.
†The option to mix output tubes on the 50w model is still under development and is not available at this time.
