Bluesy Jazzy - Playing Two Parts
Just A Tad Over Clean.
The Eastender series is for the player who wants the original jangle and bell like chime of the first 1960 British style amps, but with moderate to major modifications to suit a certain playing style or tonal range. The originals had features that were not so user friendly(slow, med, fast 3 speed only tremolo, backwards cut switch etc.). By stripping the circuit of unwanted or underutilized features, and adding optional features for you to choose from, you can design it the way you want it. Select from a two knob reverb, pre or post master volume(or both), slope resistor selector switch to fine tune the tone stack etc. Available in 15, 18, 30 and 36 watt models, It utilizes EL84/6BQ5 output tubes, 12AX7 preamps and a GZ34/5AR4 tube rectifier. The Grady Cross -BOSS36R and Retro Rocket 30 are examples of this amp with a two knob reverb and a master volume added. Amazing tone at any volume gauranteed.
