The Sentinel
Based on the KT66 platform of the old Bluesbreaker, with a few twists.We are now shipping the amp with the new TAD 6L6WGC tubes or with the Chinese KT66's. Through a bunch of legwork, I have finally found a good supplier of KT66's, and have been using them as well as the 6L6's.. The amp still has that killer vintage vibe. 4 inputs, a higher gain brighter side, and a lower gain darker side. Original design was a shared cathode in the first preamp tube which gives the amp its overall darkness, but we incorporate a Vintage/Modern switchable first stage from shared cathode to split cathode, which will make the amp a little brighter and more aggressive, give it that classic lead snarl. Like all of our amps, we use only the best for components, each amp is built to last a lifetime. Also, we can custom tailor each amp to the buyer, with subtle voicing and gain structure changes. We also supply each amp with a tube rectifier, and a plug in solid state rectifier so a person can get the softness and compression of the tube, or plug in the solid state replacement and tighten the amp up if you want a tighter, less "squishy" feel, esp useful with higher gain pedals.
Amps come standard with:
Custom designed Hand wound Radio Sparres OT copy
Custom heavy duty Power transformer with high grade m6 steel to run cooler
SOZO vintage "Handwired" caps
Custom built cnc chassis with welded corners for durability
