 *** 25 AND 50 WATT VERSIONS NOW AVAILABLE - SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS *** Take a "Blackface" AB763, gut the reverb and vibrato, and wire up channel 2 more like a super HOT-RODDED "800" style amp. Then add relay-driven CHANNEL SWITCHING and dual footswitchable DRIVE and master LEVEL controls on channel 2 and hook it all up to a HiFi grade power amp section. The T5 BUD ("Blackface"/"UltraDistortion") amps were designed for the player that wants the highest quality, hand-wired multi-channel all tube guitar amp that will produce both super sweet clean tones as well as aggressive, powerful high-gain tube distortion. CHANNEL 1 on the BUD is the super sweet clean channel with tones inspired by the vintage "Blackface" style amps. VOLUME, BASS, MIDDLE, and TREBLE controls. Simple and straight-forward, with a great bark as you get louder and begin to overdrive the power amp section. CHANNEL 2 is the high-gain tube "Ultra-Distortion" channel that's basically like a 2 channel amp in itself. It has dual footswitchable DRIVE and master LEVEL controls that share a BASS, MIDDLE, and TREBLE tone stack. This gives you the option of either setting up an overdrive/distortion setup (where LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 are at about the same volume setting, but DRIVE 2 is set to a higher gain setting than DRIVE 1), or a volume boost setup (where DRIVE 1 and DRIVE 2 are set to the same gain setting, but LEVEL 2 is set to a higher volume setting than LEVEL 1), or a rhythm/lead combination of both more gain and volume (where DRIVE 2 is set to a higher gain setting than DRIVE 1 and LEVEL 2 is set to a higher volume setting than LEVEL 1). The power amp section of the BUD Series has been dialed in to provide a perfect balance between the two differently voiced preamps. Other features include relay-driven channel footswitching circuitry with absolutely no solid state in the signal path, slick gloss black laser engraved aluminum front and rear panels with bright silver lettering, and heavy duty knurled aluminum knobs all packed in a genuine Tolex covered 13-ply birch head cab with black hardware and a tinted "plexi" acrylic front panel. At first, the clean tones of CHANNEL 1 may make you think the BUD is a really nice amp, but once you switch over to CHANNEL 2 you'll instantly realize that this is not so. The BUD is not really your "bud" at all. It wants to take control of you and your guitar. There's enough gain here to literally suck notes out of your fingers. Perfect for scorching rhythms and screaming leads. Super-saturated with just the right amount of compression while still retaining clarity of individual notes. So overdriven that it's almost clean... and yes, it can be somewhat tamed and still sound great if you turn the DRIVE control(s) way down, and with its interactive 3-band tone stack, there are virtually unlimited high-gain tones available for you to dial in. Versatile enough to get just about anything from the heaviest modern scooped rhythms, to endlessly sustaining "brown" midrange lead tones, to over-the-top psychedelic feedback, to killer metal tones. Two awesome extremes...sweet cleans...brutally beautiful high-gain tube distortion...with a power amp section that has been carefully dialed in to provide a perfect balance for both. Full list of features below. Features
