Freight Train Amplifier, Head Unit

Four 6L6GC in the power section deliver 50 Watts, in a pure class-A circuit. You don't hear "50 Watts, pure class-A " often, if ever. What you get is pure clean sparkle, chime, major punch, and a clean powerful low end. Besides offering a lot of headroom, the breakup is smooth and transparent.

About the gain control; quite often what is labelled a gain control is in reality a drive control, which is a volume pot between preamp stages. But this gain control is designed to actually increase the gain of the preamp stage itself. The advantage here is that the circuit maintains a transparent, distinct tone over a wide volume range.

The whole idea is a simple signal path with touch sensitivity and the widest frequency range you'll hear anywhere.

Standard features include:
Point-to-point, hand-wired circuitry
Half-power switch, 50/25 Watts
Effects loop
4-8-16 ohm output
2 speaker jacks, wired in parallel


Option: In-cab lighting, powered separately
Option: A drive circuit, adding two more preamp stages for ultra-high drive.
