on model. |
|
| |
|
To be available in 18 Watt, 50 Watt and 75 Watt
versions |
|
| |
|
All components
used to be carefully chosen and more than adequately rated for best reliability
and performance. And I mean this.. |
|
| |
|
Aluminium
chassis for light weight and period low magnetic interaction. |
|
| |
|
Power transformer
to be core sheilded toroid for maximum power/weight ratio and low noise
performance. |
|
| |
|
Output transformer
to be English made, purpose designed, flash tested to 4kV. To support 4/8/16
Ohm speaker loads. |
|
| |
|
Circuit design
to be traditional with my own optimised values. NO presence control. NO
effects loop. NO drive channel s**t. |
|
| |
|
Power supply
to use solid state rectifiers. The advantage over using a valve rectifier
is too great to ignore, both in engineering and playability terms. The more
energy in the power supply the better... |
|
| |
|
Custom made
turret board construction for easy servicing, and all IO connectors to be
Gold plated |

"This
is simply the most beautiful sounding valve amp I have ever heard. Its
warm big sound compares favourably with the vintage amps of the 1940's
and 50's but with a much higher output suitable for today's musical situations.
It is very light and compact weighing in at only 19 pounds. Being completely
hand-assembled and wired, it is not cheap, but why would you ever need
to buy another amp again". - Roy Sainsbury
"I am lucky
enough to own both the Ameson RS 120 and the Ameson
RS Tube 50 amps and both are superb. I have just completed recording
a CD with trumpet great Bruce Adams and the engineers at the studio were
absolutely bowled over by the sound of the amp. Please feel free to quote
me" - Tony Marshall (Tony works with many world
class jazz musicians such as Warren Vache, Scott Hamilton, Kenny
Baker, etc. His brilliant new recording with Bruce Adams is now
on release.) |
