Dual Power Tube Select:

The dual Power Tube Select allows independent power tube configurations for each channel.

When the channel is changed with the footswitch controller the PTS (Power Tube Selector) for that channel is activated.

This allows for the possibility of having a different power tube combination for each preamp channel. Think of it as a dual channel power amp. The power amp tone can be selected to compliment the preamp tone that’s been dialed in.

Here are some examples:

  • Channel A could be set in the V6 mode for a small combo ‘being pushed’ tone that really sings for leads (think cranked tweed deluxe), and Channel B could be set in the 34 mode for a big ‘plexi crunch’ rhythm.
  • Channel A could be in Quad mode for a powerful clear clean tone, and Channel B could be in the V6 mode to achieve a saturated high gain tone.
  • Both channels could be set in the same mode (both V6, or both 34, or both Quad). There are a total of 9 different combinations with these two switches, of coarse once you find your favorite sound, just set it and forget it.

V6 : This setting activates two of the 4 power tubes, the tubes activated are the 6V6 and the EL84. This dissimilar power tube combination produces 20 watts power output.

34: This setting activates the pair of El34’s for 30 watts power output.

Quad: This setting activates all four power tubes for 40 watts power output.
