Custom Shop Series - Vanderbilt
|
The
Vanderbilt has the same features, looks, size and styling as
the Supreme 16 (ss). It's main difference is the output
section uses 2-6L6's running cathode biased with no negative
feedback loop and has a GZ34 rectifier tube.
It's
rated at 33 watts and is designed to be used with either
2-Celestion Blue Alnico's or one mixed with a Heritage G12H.
It has fat, harmonically rich overtones mixed with a perfect
amount of Compression and saturation. It retains the simple
channel 1 with the unique EF86 preamp tube, like the SS. The
full EQ channel preamp design is derived from our Super
Deluxe, though the output section is biased specifically for
the 6L6, unlike the Super's cooler bias that allows the use
of EL34's.
This
really allows for a fuller, richer and warmer sound. The
power and output are also chosen to run with the Blue Alnico
speakers, which couldn't handle a typical 45-50 watt
arrangement. It's output is similar to an AC30 and really
shines with the Alnicos. This is a fairly unique combination
in the market place, the 6L6's in Class A with the Blue
Alnicos. We've already had great feedback on this new model
-- it really has a nice power levels for today's Club levels
and musical styles.
