Jet City THD Picovalve Head

Jet City THD Picovalve Head FULLY TUBE 5/2-watt head from Jet City/THD. Simply the ideal tube amplifier option for home, studio, or rehearsal (yes, even 5 tube watts can really rock))). It has a 5/2 watt power switch, and for home, the 2-watt mode is honestly more than enough. For recording or rehearsal, there is a louder 5-watt mode (in 5-watt mode it sounds at the level of a 30-50 watt transistor combo). That is, if you have a small club band, you can safely use it at rehearsals and on stage without problems. The amplifier is equipped with preamp level knobs (which is essentially Gain) + master volume, meaning you can set the necessary level of overdrive at any required volume, a “Bright” switch, and 3 frequency knobs – treble, middle, and bass. The back panel has cabinet outputs (can drive any cabinet or speaker at 4, 8, or 16 ohms) and operates on any voltage from 120 to 220 volts. You can safely plug it into Russian sockets directly, without adapters. This “little monster” sounds simply amazing for its size and price: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7lltX7xbpU And here is a longer demo of both clean and overdrive on different pickup combinations (if you are interested in overdrive – watch from the 12th minute): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHsMr2sXT0k The problem with powerful, for example 50-100 (and more) watt amplifiers is that they need to be CRANKED to 60-70% of their power to get the TRULY rich, pleasant warm tube sound for which they were intended. You cannot play them "quietly" — as soon as you turn down the volume, all the tube richness and "liveliness" in the sound disappears. That is exactly why they are rarely played at home, and even in studios, people often record with less powerful amplifiers and combos to get a rich sound at a volume level that can be placed in the mix qualitatively and without "clipping," capturing all the beauty of the sound without distortion. This amplifier is designed precisely for that: to get that very rich, fat, dense sound of a "power-blazing" tube amplifier at a necessary, pleasant-to-the-ears volume level, when eardrums do not burst and window panes do not fly out) All amplifiers are absolutely new in boxes.
