«  Jazz chorus tube! »

Published on 01/22/12 at 03:38
Tube amp, GC 4x6L6 produced between 1981 and 1984 the United States, all components are "made in United States", circuits, lamps, transformers etc ...
Heavy duty construction and ultra reliable.
HP scorpion high quality, the first series X 2.
Power of 2 X 130 Watts RMS switchable to 50 watts.
Accoutronics spring reverb, the true vintage spring reverb!.
Two channels, reverb and phaser related to both channels.
A note on a clean channel EQ with parametric enormous.

UTILIZATION

The original manual is very well done.
Clearly, it is very easy to obtenr good sound, but this amp takes work, because by refining its settings, it really flirts with perfection.

SOUNDS

This amp is a monster for the Jazz, his favorite, funk, rock ...
A channel dedicated to the saturation should be considered for the crunch or mild overdrive, pushing further the interest is out of saturation.
I plugged my multi effects in the loop for testing in compression and distortion, believe me, he is doing extremely well.

OVERALL OPINION

Imagine a Roland Jazz Chorus with tube amplification ... well here it is!
Built ultra strong and reliable, this amp is quite rare to find in time.
In very good condition, you can find it for around 400 Euros.
We no longer manufactures this type of amp, it would be too expensive, we are now in the era of oneway, this amp is its antithesis.
The card and the quality of components, manufacturing, assembly is high quality.
That will be worth in 30 years high-end amplifiers sold today?
The mine at age 31 with lights origins, my technician still can not believe:)
If you see an opportunity in, buy it!
