RedPlate CDS2 guitar amps

RedPlateAmps is in production with the CDS2 Chuck D’Aloia Signature Version 2, a new guitar amp available in both head and combo.

The CDS2 is a pedal friendly platform that gives the player the ability to switch between the clean tones of a blackface-style preamp or the break up of a 50’s tweed preamp. The overdrive section can be set for anything from British crunch to endless sustain and an all-tube fully buffered effects loop is included. Like all RedPlate Models, the CDS2 is handmade in the USA.

CDS2 Features:

6-way Mode switch sets midrange Q for everything from a scooped “country” tone to a full on fat “fusion” tone
3-Way Bright Switch
Tone Stack Bypass – Turn the Bass knob all the way counter-clockwise and remove the whole tone stack from the circuit to get a “guitar-straight-to-volume-and-master” path
