Hello, my name is Ludo, and I'll introduce you to our flagship amp: the Crunch Machine
The Crunch Machine is a 2-channel tube amp based on the Marshall 18W (also known as the 'mini-bluesbreaker')
the power stage is built around 2 EL84 tubes, for a definite British tone
while the preamp uses 3 x 12AX7 tubes
the rectifier is based on an EZ81 tube
both channels are of course switchable
either from the frontplate, or using the footswitch
the maximum output power is 18W in Stage mode
but you can reduce it to 4W in Home mode
which will allow you to crank your amp at home
without disturbing the neighborhood
additionally, the rectifier mode is switchable:
the tube-mode provides a smooth, vintage tone
while the solid-state mode gives a stiffer feel to your tone
