‘The Valve’ Amplifier’s Bimbo At VERY LOW VOLUME
The Valve Amplifiers 5W Bimbo demonstrating how low in volume this 5 watt amp will go.
The BIMBO is a 5 watt amplifier that incorporates the preamp design based upon one of the most legendary rock guitar amplifiers ever produced in the early 1970 and it is able to achieve 100% full blast tube tone at low volumes operate from its full 5 watts of output power down to 1/20th watt still retaining the same tone!.
BIMBO CONTROL DESCRIPTIONS:
GUITAR Plug in guitar here. You can also use your favorite Overdrive or Distortion pedal in series with your guitar before plugging in here for extra gain.
ATTENUATION This can be thought of as the Bimbos unique way of controlling the overall volume of the amplifier even when the VOLUME and GAIN controls are run at full volumes for maximum crunch and sustain. This is one of the key controls which allows the Bimbo to achieve it’s large tone and low volumes.
Running the VOLUME at MAX (”Loud” position) and using the ATTENUATION to control overall volume allows the BIMBO to operate like a vintage tube amp that does not use Master Volume circuitry.
This is our favorite way of using the BIMBO for great tones since the power tube and transformer contribute to the sound.
Lowering the Attenuation control down to the “Whisper” position reduces the volume while the Power Scaling incorporated circuitry increases the gain at the same time by clipping the power amp allowing you to achieve full blast stack tube tone at whisper levels!
VOLUME This works like a conventional Master Volume you may have seen on other tube amps. It can also be used to control the volume of the amp but will produce a different sound than using the ATTENUATION.
Running the ATTENUATION at MAX and using the VOLUME to control overall volume allows the BIMBO to operate more like a modern tube amp.
This is also useful for getting good clean sounds with the BIMBO.
TONE A specially and carefully designed single TONE control that allows the player to get a wide range of classic guitar tones.
A brighter sound is achieved the more you crank to the right. Many of the best sounds are found in the 10-2 o’clock positions.
GAIN This controls the amount of input gain applied to the guitar signal. In combination with the VOLUME and ATTENUATION controls, this GAIN control can be used to dial in a wide variety of tones from clean to crunchy.
For those needing super hi-gain tones, the use of an overdrive or distortion pedal is advised.
RUN/REST This is the main ON/OFF switch for the amplifier. The “standby” feature normally found in tube amplifiers is built into this power switch thru the use of delayed power up sequence.
