Super Bee: Steve Carr's take on a Fender Super Reverb but in a light weight version that gets the same amazing tones at lower volumes! The build in power attenuator takes the amp all the way down to 2 watts, making it appropriate for even late night bedroom performances. To top it all off, there are three selectable voices 1) 64 - a shimmering, scooped tone for sparkling leads 2) 68 - blackface tone pushed with bite for that classic throaty crunch and twang 3) 72 - bigger kids and full leads this setting has extra gain and a shifted EQ circuit placement.
Telstar: The Telstar is a brand-new classic, blending the deep and bold qualities of the 6L6 and the tonally intricacy of EL84 all in a lightweight combo amp. What makes the Telstar different? By blending these two different power tubes in the push-pull output stage you are able to achieve an awe inspiring, low end in spades and multifaceted sparkle. The Lean/Lush switch gives control of the tonal 'body', while the 53/58 switch modifies the gain structure and a Tone control to emphasize different frequencies. All this makes this amp incredibly versitile making it a breeze to achieve Marshally, blackface and tweedy tones with ease while also being capable of creating totally original tones. With the built in power attenuator the Telstar is ready for all settings from home use to studio all the way to Carnegie Hall.
Mercury V: The Mercury is a brilliant Marshalleque amplifier with expansive gain controls to dial in amazing British tones everything from wailing to roar to thick cleans. The ingenious preamp circuit utilizes a pair of 6V6GT with an internally paired High and Low channel to let you get to off the charts gain levels. All this while simultaneously running an onboard attenuator to take this amp from 16 watt down to 4 or switch it to 4 down to 0 watts !!! This along with the three level boost and parallel/ series switch allow you to get pop and fizz distortion down to a whisper. So whether you are playing at home or at the club or in the studio this is an incredibly versatile amp, from whisper to roar. To top it all off the tube-returned spring reverb adds dimension making this one of our best-selling amps.
