Is the ultimate club amp allowing the guitarist
to play at high gain settings, achieving classic overdrive tones
naturally without blowing the wigs off your clubs’ patrons. It also
has tremendous touch sensitivity allowing the guitarist to leave
the amp on “10” while controlling the amount of gain by only his
touch or by the volume control on his guitar.
The tone also changes according to touch. At low gain settings,
the frequency response is even with a slightly thick midrange and
a present, sparkly top end. As the gain increases however, that
top end withdraws preventing the “icepick-in-the-ear” syndrome and
achieving the ever so elusive Bluesbreaker tone of the 1960s. Switch
to a neck pickup and the 18w amp will deliver smooth tone all night
long.
The 18W utilizes classic EL-84 power tubes renowned the world over
for their sparkly top end and their smooth but aggressive growl
when overdriven.
The preamp utilizes the classic (and readily available) 12AX7 tubes
in all positions, including the phase invertor. Rounding out the
tube compliment is a NOS tube rectifier utilizing the classic EZ-81.
Since this tube is no longer being manufactured, we offer a Weber
VST “Copper Cap” tube rectifier substitute as an option. Our testing
comparing the Copper Cap to Mullard and Amperex tubes has shown
that the Copper Cap replicates the sag characteristics of the EZ-81
in exact deta
The 18W Head includes a 3 position impedance switch with two ?”
output jacks enabling the 18W Head to be used with nearly any combination
of speakers totalling 4Ω, 8Ω or 16Ω
TREMOLO
The tremolo effect is adjustable for speed and intensity. This is
a classic tone that works well for all sorts of music with both
a clean tone and an overdriven tone.
