Ultra Blu
PLEASE NOTE:
The Ultra Blu design has been updated and is now available as the 'MM plus'.
Check out the 'MM Series' page for more info!
Description
The T5 Ultra Blu was designed to be an extremely flexible amp with 2 footswitchable channels that can produce everything from sweet vintage style
clean/overdrive tones to awesome modern high-gain tones.
Channel 1 produces pristine clean to slightly overdriven "Tweed" inspired tones.
Channel 2 is a "Multi-Mode" channel that has three unique modes selectable by a rotary switch. This channel can dish out
anything from "Plexi" style clean/crunch in MODE 1, to hot-rodded "800" style lead tones in MODE 2, or switch to MODE 3
for awesome modern high-gain "Ultra-Distortion".
Back these 2 versatile preamps with a 50 watt EL34 power amp with a HiFi grade output transformer for extended frequency response and you've got one killer tone machine! (NOTE: Lower power models also available. Please see below.)
100% point-to-point hand-wired and built to last using only top notch components, with all circuits designed to be as straight-forward as possible so not to muck with YOUR tone...
just amplify/overdrive/distort it as purely as possible!
