(they really do!)
Please note that these clips do
not and cannot represent the amp's tone accurately since there are so
many constants that affect the recorded tone from the speaker cabinet
to your computer speakers.
The amp tone actually sounds thousands of times better if
heard live. These are here only to give you a hint of what the amp
actually sounds like. Sort of like the roasting garlic aroma coming
from the kitchen that sits around the roast. Sorry, vegetarians, I
really do not have a more appropriate example for you... :-)

V18 watt LowCarb
The younger brother of the famed V18 V18 now in a lite version. A single channel version of the identical V18, precisely the AC15-ish EF86 pentode channel with the same: CUT - CONTOUR - GAIN TONE & VOLUME controls. Brings back the much sought after chimey, yet beefy rich tone of the late '60's era. Match it with a 2x12" Gabriel cabinet with an AlNiCo Blue and a greenback an you have a killer weapon to your arsenal!
Powered by 2x EL84 tubes
Characteristic to Class A amplifiers, the dual EL84 tubes deliver the much coveted overdrive wich is distinct from the "hi-gain" amps that have it formed in that preamp tubes instead. The result is a pure mud-free overdrive with its rich overtones (even-order) that gets fatter by every notch on the Volume dial.
