A dedicated high gain amp, the MASSACRE shares the same tube compliment and transformers as my BLUTBAD platform but has a completely redesigned circuit with the emphasis on maximum gain. The preamp circuit in this amp is unique and allows maximum flexibility for the player in terms of how much gain you have on tap. The tone is thick, focused and sustains for days before any of the two front panel boost switches are enganged. The first activates a moderate gain boost at the input of the second gain stage, the second boost bypasses the tone stack for a larger gain boost. Clean tones are not compromised and are extremely functional. It features preamp out and power amp in jacks that can also be utilized as an effects loop. It's built on a 26" chassis in a 28" or 29.5" x 10" cabinet to fit popular 4x12 cabinets perfectly. The prototype pictured has four front panel selectable 5000mcd high intensity LED's that illuminate the cabinet.
