Product Description
Inspired by attributes of our favorite United Kingdom amplifiers, the British Dream represents a uniquely-voiced two channel amplifier that delivers the EF-86 chime and growl of the '59 AC30 on channel one as well as the dual 12AX7 precision and slice of a '68 Plexi on channel two. Individual channel levels are handled by separate volume controls. Macro volume levels are controlled via a front panel Pentode/Triode switch (full output or 50% output power). Precise control of volume levels is handled by the patent-pending HybridMASTER™ control located on the rear panel. HybridMASTER is a proprietary technology that effectively gives the player single-knob control over the perceived volume of their performance without degradation in sound quality or feel.
The amplifier is finished in a rich black tolex with distinctive white piping that visually calls out the uniqueness of the internal structure of the enclosure. A deep black powdercoat finish on the chassis contrasts perfectly the sharp white silkscreen control markings on this purpose-built unit. Ivory vintage-style pointer knobs communicate intuitively letting you know exactly where your controls are set from across the room even in low lighting.
Further sonic detailing is made possible via the SwitchBACK™ enclosure design. Notably, players can choose the sound and feel of either an "open-back" or a "closed-back" cabinet by way of a removable triangle port lid. When closed, the sonic performance is distinctly tight and punchy in the tradition of a larger 4x12 stack. When opened, the space is filled with a wide sonic footprint that seems to span much further than you imagined a single 12" combo would.
Greatly enhancing the vintage experience, the enclosure construction creates individual compartments for the speaker, preamp tubes and power tubes. This isolation of critical elements helps give the British Dream™ a performance typical of a head and cabinet - free from the rattles and buzzes that affect many all-in-one combos - and puts it in a manageable 112 combo enclosure. Heat from the tubes is aptly vented via the jet black powder-coated steel side vents keeping operating temperatures in check. There is also an insert-style effects loop located on the rear panel which is often the best point to insert your time-based special effects such as reverb and delay.
