Frequently Asked Questions
Duo-Class combines Class AB power for punch with Class A for warmth, providing a dynamic response that reacts beautifully to your playing volume and pick attack.
It's a standard-sized tank, typically around 12 in, and replacement is possible, though requires some technical skill and care.
Lower wattage settings slightly alter the power tube saturation, creating a more compressed and harmonically rich tone while maintaining the amp’s core character.
