In more detail:
The emulated line output has the sonic characteristics of a guitar speaker picked up by a microphone. It provides a natural amp sound for recording or playing with headphones. The signal is taken directly from the power amp to ensure that the sonic characteristics of the power tube and output transformer are reproduced and recorded when pushed to saturation,
in Class A configuration.
Our digital reverb has been specially designed with the spring reverbs of iconic vintage amps as a reference.
Why is this?
There's something magical about low-power Class A tube amps. The ability, for classic sounds, to push the power stage to saturation at acceptable volume levels and the way they respond to pedals make them a popular choice for the studio and home. Some of the most revered amps of this type originated in the USA and our TV-10 A is inspired by these iconic sounds. With a focus on simplicity and sonic purity, every feature has been refined to offer artists the widest range of vintage sounds.
