Grand Prize: Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic, Mayhem & Blue
Deadline: Feb 27, 2009
Retail Value: $964
SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic
High-quality, two-channel, guitar preamp. Uses a duet of premium, mil-spec, subminiature, USA-made Phillips-Sylvania 6021 dual triode tubes. Great for country, blues, surf, classic rock.
The high-plate voltage and 100% vacuum tube signal path allows the tubes to operate at their fullest potential and provide maximum dynamic range. The means you get the most gain and all the smooth tone you expect from a high-quality tube preamp. Two channels provide versatility. True bypass. Fully encapsulated toroidal transformer for quiet operation. Heavy duty steel chassis.
SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem
High-quality guitar preamp with built in boost. Uses a duet of premium, mil-spec, subminiature, USA-made Phillips-Sylvania 62051 pentode tubes. Great for old school metal, new metal, thrash, death and doom.
The high plate voltage and 100% vacuum tube signal path allow the tubes to operate at their fullest potential and provide maximum dynamic range. Additional gain is achieved with a high voltage, low noise, discrete Class A input stage. The solid state input stage increases the resistance of the stomp-box to microphonics. The result is maximum dynamic range, the most gain, and the heaviest tone your expect from a great tube preamp voiced for metal. Also features user-selectable 4dB or 8dB boost for pre-setting rhythm and lead levels. True bypass. Fully encapsulated toroidal transformer for quiet operation. Heavy duty steel chassis.
SFX-11 Twin Tube Blue
Like the Twin Tube Classic and Twin Tube Mayhem, the Twin Tube Blue is a high-quality, two-channel, guitar preamp. However, this one is voiced for the blues. We’re talking modern blues, Chicago blues, Texas blues, and classic rock. Unlike its Twin Tube brethren, it features a duet of premium, mil-spec, subminiature, USA-made Phillips-Sylvania 6111 dual triode tubes. These tubes are voiced similar to a familiar 12AU7.
Speaking of tubes, too often, inexpensive tube gear runs in “starved plate mode,” where the tubes function like clipping diodes and do not actually amplify. The Twin Tube Blue’s high-plate voltage and 100% vacuum tube signal path allows the tubes to operate at their fullest potential and provide maximum dynamic range. The means you get the most gain and all the smooth, bluesy tone you expect from a high-quality tube preamp.
Two channels provide versatility. The Rhythm channel offers up sparkly chords and bright and punchy leads. The Lead channel starts with familiar Texas blues and goes all the way to the heaviest blues tones you’ll ever need. The Twin Tube Blue is true bypass and features a heavy duty chassis and a fully encapsulated toroidal transformer for quiet operation.
