Another classic has arrived from the S.L. Amps<\/a> workshop.<\/p>\n

The amplifier combines the two most successful channels of the legendary British manufacturer, which are also commonly replicated by boutique manufacturers in the United States.<\/p>\n

EF86 channel:<\/strong>
\nPopular classic British sound from 1958 with modern accessories.
\n2 inputs with a 6dB level difference. A two-position Bass Shift switch which, in position 1, provides a fully vintage-correct sound.
\nIn position 2, it delivers tighter, more modern lows.
\nA 3-position Brilliance switch, in the off position, provides the traditional vintage “flat” sound, while position 1 characterizes the early British “treble” settings.
\nPosition 2, on the other hand, offers the original brilliance sound with strong bass cut. Plus, it’s equipped with a triode\/pentode switch. In the pentode position, you get the original vintage sound, which when cranked up, provides the traditional sweet tone. In triode mode, there’s less gain but greater headroom.<\/p>\n

Top boost channel:
\n<\/strong> The original 1963 circuit features the classic interactive tone section.
\nWith small adjustments to the Bass and Treble potentiometers, you can dial in new and different tones.
\nTop Cut: The high-cut applied in traditional British circuits after the phase inverter.<\/p>\n

Power amp:<\/strong>
\n15W Class A power amp, switchable between Triode (7.5W) and Pentode (15W) modes.
\nIn triode mode, typically characterized by a “smooth” sound.<\/p>\n

-15W fully handcrafted “Class A” amplifier.
\n-Pentode\/Triode switch in the power amp (15W\/7.5W)
\n-1x EF86, 3x 12AX7, 2x EL84, 1x EZ81 (rectifier) tubes
\n-2 channels with completely separate EQ sections.<\/p>\n
