JKC33   

The JKC33 is based on our Vintage 50, but designed with the gigging musician in mind.  Special lower-powered output transformer delivers about 30 watts makes it perfect for venues where 50 watts would be too much.  You can wind this amp up to enable it to produce that sweet tone at reduced volume.

    Just like the Vintage 50, this amp is a 4 input, non master volume setup, with a shared set of tone controls.  The JKC 33 has a killer, sweet full clean tone, and starts to get gritty around 4 on the volume.  From 4 on up, it gets thicker and smoother crunch tones.  As with all of our amps, it responds very well to the guitars volume control, and to your pick attack. When wound up, gets a nice gritty clean, or clean with a little hair on it, by rolling the volume back on the guitar.  Go from there, to singing leads with just a turn of the guitars volume.

  Power section is 2 el34's, OR 2 KT66's.  and the preamp uses 3 12ax7/ecc83's.  Solid state rectification keeps this amp tight, even when wound up.  I am constantly testing preamp tubes for the best possible combination.  I have also been testing the use of KT66's in this amp, and its amazing.  All amps are now set up with the ability to adjust for KT66's, to give you that early Page,Clapton, etc type tone. 

   Built with the same attention to detail, and high quality as all our amps. Custom wound Heyboer transformers recreated from a teardown of the Drake 784-139 OT, hand assembled and hand wired, with no compromises.  Chassis are welded for extra support and durability, and switches are all heavy duty units for long trouble free service. 

  The V50 comes standard with:

Winged C EL34 power tubes and a mix of Mullard, JJ, EI, or Tungsol preamp tubes.

Custom wound Heyboer output tranformer, power transformer, and choke.

ARS and Sprague high quality filter caps.  Handwired with silver core teflon jacketed wire.

External bias jacks, with top mounted 10 turn bias pot for easy, precise biasing.

Good demonstration of the use of the Scaling Control. The Scaler is the control on the end with the light.  He turns the scaler down pretty low at 1 point, and you can hear the amp retains the tone.
