Tech Talk – Palmer DREI Triple Single-Ended Guitar Amplifier

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:47:31 +0000

SOUND SAMPLES @ 06:31

This video shows the Palmer DREI Triple Single Ended Amplifier explained by Markus Torvinen (Palmer Engineer) and Robin Henlich (Palmer production manager).

The Sound of the Amp was recorded trough a Palmer 4 x 12″ Cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 Speakers and a Shure SM57 microphone.

The Palmer DREI design is more than just a visual extravaganza – it mirrors the concept and the circuitry. For the purest, most natural distortion only a single-ended design will do.

Single-ended tube circuits are straightforward and simple, providing the most organic, raw tube sounds possible. In contrast to the more powerful push-pull designs the output of single-ended circuits usually does not exceed 5 Watts. That is why single-ended circuits are mostly found in small practice amps preferred by many top-notch players for recording.

Dating back to the first days of vacuum tubes single-ended amplifiers are nothing new. However, the Palmer DREI incorporates THREE of these providing three times the output power of a standard single-ended design! Moreover, it accepts a variety of output tubes which all have their own unmistakable sound characteristics.

The EL84 is bright and “British” sounding with tons of distortion (think Vox amps), the 6V6 provides somewhat darker tones with a smoother “American” distortion flavor (think Fender), and while it is tight and bright at lower volumes the 6L6 becomes progressively darker when driven hard. With the Palmer DREI you can mix and match power tubes from three distinct amplifier tones and thus create your own voice.

Three different single-ended amps in a single unit – that’s the Palmer DREI formula!

Vintage Fender Amps and Guitars (’57 Reissue Strat through Vibroverb and Super Reverb)

admin — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 14:50:15 +0000

I decided to pull out my old 1957 Reissue Strat I bought back in 1986. It has a great sound and plays great. It’s a little brighter and does not have quite as much bass as my vintage Strats. I’m playing through the 1964 Vibroverb and a 1966 Super Reverb with the TS-808 on and off.

BUGERA 1990 Tube Amp Demo on Music Man EVH

admin — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:02:50 +0000

BUGERA 1990 Tube Amp Demo on Music Man EVH by Michael Ripoll
We made the 1990 the first BUGERA amp to allow switching between full-throttle pentode or more harmonic triode (60-Watt) modes. We gave Clean and Lead channels separate master volume and reverb controls. We tossed in a dual-control footswitch others charge extra for. Then we used our powerful economies of scale and advanced manufacturing to produce a superb value that puts Biting British Tone within range of anybody who ever lusted after it.

DT50 Guitar Amplifier In-Depth | Line 6

admin — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 14:02:28 +0000

Join Sean Halley as he shows you how to deep-dive into the thick tube tones of DT50. Hear its four classic voicings (American clean, British crunch, class A chime and modern high-gain), and see how the Bogner-designed power amp section automatically reconfigures key elements like class, pentode/triode, and feedback to match the preamp settings for each tone. DT50 gives you the ideal “jumping off point” for each tone — but from there, you can change settings and fine-tune your tone — or create something new entirely.

Fender Blues Deluxe Amp demo – Damon Chivers @ Nevada Music UK

admin — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 20:57:11 +0000

Buy the Blues Deluxe here… http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/Guitar-Amplifiers-and-Speakers/Guitar-Amps-Combos-and-Cabinets/Guitar-Combos/sc1585/p3414.aspx Think Fender and for most people a Strat or Telecaster will come to mind, but let’s not forget they also have a history for making some of the finest amps on the planet. Just as Fender got it right first time with their two iconic guitars, the same has to be said of their amps. It’s amazing that in a world brimming with technology and miniature gadgets galore, that no one has come up with a better formula for amplifying guitars than the good old valve. It’s little wonder then that Fender offer a range of brilliant reissues from the ’50s and ’60s. Here we have the tweed covered Blues Deluxe.

This combo weighs in at 45lbs and is solidly constructed. Height is 18.75″ width 23.5″ and Depth 10.5″. There are three 12AX7 and two 6L6 valves plus a solid state rectifier. One 12″ Eminence special Fender design 50 Watt speaker delivers the sound. There are two channels, superb vintage Fender clean and the bluesey drive channel with a host of features.

Independent Gain and Master Control’s for the drive channel. A bright switch, effects loop, reverb, presence, middle, bass, treble, drive select button, drive, volume and further bright switch. Finally the power and standby switches. All mounted on a highly polished chrome panel with retro looking chicken head knobs. This amp is capable of producing the classic Fender clean tone and punchy blues rock sounds with ease. Comes with channel footswitch.

I feel if your toying with the idea of an affordable classic Fender style gigging combo, you’ll find no better match than with the Blues Deluxe. Just add a couple of your favourite pedals for a great set up. Highly recommended by players the world over.

Orange Tiny Terror Amp

admin — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 05:32:31 +0000

http://www.ProGuitarShop.com – Orange Tiny Terror Guitar Amplifier

The Orange Tiny Terror took the world by storm in 2006 and has been raising a ruckus ever since. Perfect for small stage, studio, and practice the Tiny Terror was one of the first all tube guitar amplifiers to bring boutique quality tone and durability to the working musician. Combining Class A performance and that infamous Orange tone, the Tiny Terror has become a new standard in modern guitar amplifiers. Simple controls make it easy to dial in the tone you crave and the 15/7 watts switch brings even more versatility to the table for studio use.
Orange Tiny Terror

The Orange Tiny Terror is built around a two stage preamp that delivers almost the same amount of gain as a four stage preamp. At mid gain settings the Tiny Terror is pure vintage rock n roll ala Black Sabbath. Crank the gain some more and get into some more modern rock tones. The clean tone is crisp and clear and the Tone control is extremely usable in all ranges. The addition of one 16 ohm and two 8 ohm outputs means the Tiny Terror can plug into the cabinet of your choice. The 7 watt setting is perfect for lower volume saturation and lead tones, especially when using a sensitive microphone to record. If you havent heard an Orange Tiny Terror, you need to.
Orange Tiny Terror Specifications:

* Class A Operation
* 2-EL84 2-ECC83
* 7 lbs
* 15/7 Watt Operation
* Two Stage Preamp
* Rugged Metal Chassis
