The Dust Devil
This is a small single 12" combo with an
incredible sounding 12 watts of pure class A,
single-ended, cathode-biased EL34 tube
power.
This little guy may be small, and easy to carry,
but don't let its diminutive size fool you. This hot-
rod will rock the house without breaking a sweat.
The control layout is simple:
Two inputs "Hot", and "Cool" to tailor the amp to your guitars pickups.
Volume Knob with a "Pull Boost" feature that
gives you an unlimited array of gain settings
from bright spanky Tele-twang tone, to
creamy, effortless super sustaining high gain
rock tones.
An extremely effective "Tone Knob" That will let
you dial in YOUR tone from thick, and swampy
to bright, and articulate, and anywhere in
between.
VARI-WATT!!
This amp's ON/OFF knob also doubles as the
Vari-Watt control. This is no simple master-volume. This is Power-Scaling at its best! Crank the Vari-Watt control all the way up, and
you get the full 12 watts from the power section. Turn the Vari-Watt all the way down, and you will
decrease the power output of the EL34 power
tube to approximately 1/10th of a watt!!!! And of
course you can set it anywhere in between -
dial in the tone and volume you need.
The Vari-Watt circuit actually changes the
voltage going to the plate of the power tube. So
when you turn the Vari-Watt down, even though
the tube isn't putting out it's full power, the tube
still reacts like it's running at full-blast. The
advantage to this design over standard master
volumes is that you can get power tube
saturation at extremely low volumes.
As a matter of fact, the further you turn the
Vari-Watt control down, the EASIER it is to get
power tube saturation, and distortion.
This feature makes the Dust Devil truly
capable of getting those wonderfull cranked up
tones, compression, and saturation at REAL
BEDROOM VOLUME LEVELS.
This very well may be the perfect all around
amp. AMAZING tones for recording - plenty of
power for smaller gigs - and at home the Vari-Watt
control will let you play to the wee hours of the
morning without disturbing anyone else in the
house!
I think this is my new favorite amp. I think you're
going to love it too!
