I've been often asked about really CLEAN clean tones. Most amps don't sound their best when really clean with a handful of exceptions - Ampeg Gemini series and Deluxe Reverb come to mind. But exceptions are proof for the norm.
For most amps it is best to dial them in for their sweet-spot where they start to breath and then just lower the level of the signal that is fed into them if you want KLEAN cleans.
This amp was specifically built to perform its best at cleans. It is the punchiest, cleanest, most noise-free, boldest and most detailed clean tone i've heard so far and that comes from a guy who has tried all the small and big Fenders as well as Two-Rock, Matchless, Hiwatt, etc.
The headroom on this thing is incredible - it stays totally clean by guitar tube amp standards until about 5 on the volume, at which point it is really loud, dynamic, touch sensitive, very lively and you hear some musical saturation.
It is a true Class A design and therefore the 4x 6L6 tubes deliver "only" about 35-50W of power in true Class A and Class AB settings. The Class AB setting changes the bias and increases the power, but it is not a full-on Class AB mode.
The amp was built as a special order by Fēlikss Staņēvičs (Felix Stanevich) and Mārtiņš Saulspurēns (Martins Saulspurens) - both masterminds that built the now iconic Blue Microphone brand from ground up, where Felix was the Lead Engineer.
This amp won't do pretty overdrive - it does only clean, but some of the best clean that you will ever encounter. So if really KLEAN clean tones are your jam, don't miss this one out.
The capture set features 30 full captures and the amp was captured through its built in 12" Celestion Gold speaker. See a full list of included captures in the product picture section.
