Manufacturer's Description...
This is a great amp for classic rock, blues, country or pop styles. Its two channels offer a wide variety of tones and can be easily switched with the use of an A/B pedal. Additionally, a “Y” pedal can be used to play both channels simultaneously for even more tonal variety.
Channel 1 (the right input) is based on the Normal channel from the Marshall 1974. It is a relatively simple ECC83/12AX7 preamp that features a tone control and a volume control. It is a very transparent channel that can go from clean to classic rock distortion. It cleans up really well when the guitar volume is rolled off.
Channel 2 (the left input) is a preamp based on a more modern design than Channel 1. It’s a higher gain ECC83/12AX7 preamp that features a 3-band tonestack, a gain control and a volume control. It has a fuller, more modern distortion tone than Channel 1 and the tonestack and volume controls allow for a wide variety of tones to be dialed in at various overall volume levels.
The poweramp uses a pair of 6BQ5/EL84 tubes in a Class A/B push-pull configuration. The power tubes are responsible for the classic overdriven tone that has made the original 1974 so popular. This amp is no exception and the power section distorts in a very pleasing way. The more you turn it up the better it sounds!
