Low power is no obstacle to giant sound and tone in this 5-watt, 1xEL84 overachiever.
The Trail Rider--all you need to climb that hill or win the race--with two classic voices, reverb, and a built-in attenuator. Lightweight and stylish, offered as a 1-12 combo (29 Lbs) or head – the Trail Rider’s single cylinder EL84 cranks out 5 real world watts. Home, studio, small group, or in modern live venues - you can count on the Trail Rider’s ease of use, practical features, ultra high-quality parts, and US made craftsmanship to deliver.
T57
As the Tweed amps and guitar styles of the 50s evolved, a single Tone knob did not seem enough. Mr F worked to add more usable sonic controls over the guitar signal. Just before 1957 the pro level Fullerton amps appeared with two new bleeding edge tone shapers, Treble and Bass. The California Sputnik of equalization. For a few short years this adaptation of the single Tone knob (Treble) and a new low-end volume/low pass filter (Bass) guided the Tweed amps from their origins to the end of the decade with the development of the Treble, Middle, Bass tone circuit in use today. This unique 57 implementation yields a huge range of sounds from wonderfully woolly and broodingly somber tones to ultra sharp astringent pushed highs, naturally with super usable vibes in-between. Cool cleans to extra chewy Overdrive when pushed.
V67
Later, across the sea, a different breakthrough Treble/Bass circuit arrived with Top Boost. Mid 60s guitarists wanted more cut, more top end, and a way to stand out in a mix. The Top Boost circuit, derived (the story goes) from unusual mid 50s American amps, offered an edgy, ‘modern’, Mid scooped and bright sound. The V amp interpretation is known for its chime-to-grind versatility.
