Frequently Asked Questions
How do the switchable 20/5/1-watt outputs benefit recording and small venue use?
Lower wattages allow you to achieve tube saturation at manageable volumes, making silent recording and small venue amplification practical while maintaining full tube tone. The switchable design gives you flexibility across diverse situations.
