Product Description

Get classic British sound built in the Albion factory. The Albion TCT50H amplifier has 2 separate switchable channels, both featuring the same controls per channel. Channel A features the EQ circuit before the gain stages, while Channel B features the EQ after the gain stages. Both channels feature the capability of running (depending on control settings) from "clean" through "crunch" to "high gain lead". But due to the different "voicing" provided by the EQ position (and other voicing elements), both channels have an entirely different spectral response and player's "feel".

Features

- 50 watt vacuum tube 2 channel head with two EL34 and five 12AX7 tubes
- Unique input stage combines the preamp tube with an FET circuit to give lower noise, higher gain, better tonality, and lower microphonics
- Black vinyl with grey grille cloth and a gloss black trim board with gold Albion Logo
- Channel A is pre-EQ and channel B is post-EQ for more tonal options
- Power amp Variable Edge control is like a presence control but can boost or reduce high frequencies for a sweeter tone
- Power amp Variable Deep control is an active graphic type circuit that works around the resonance area of the speakers to increase the punch and bass
- Separate three-band wide range passive EQ, gain, drive, and volume knobs for Channel A and B
- Two 1/4 in. speaker output jacks with 8 or 16 ohm options on the rear
- Switchable phase from plus or minus
- Tight switch on each channel switches the low frequency voicing from deep low to a shelved high pass filter
- Smooth switch alters the voicing from bright and attacking to a smoother less high frequency style
- Shift switch alters the mid frequency to a different position and provides a different EQ spectrum
- A-B channel switching and Mix mode to combine channels are available options
- Includes footswitch for A/B channel, Mix mode, and Effects switching
- Effects loop and adjustable solid-state digital reverb
- The power amp section can be switched between two feedback loops, open and closed loop. For raw vintage sound or a more modern tighter sound
- The output section can also be run at 33% (approx 12 watts) of its total output power
- Top mounted carrying handle

Customer Reviews
3.5 out of 5 (2 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "not up to the hype :-("
Overall: well, what disappointed me the most about this amp was the flabby bottom-end. no matter what cab i used, or how i dialed in the e.q. and resonance controls i just couldn't seem to tighten it up at all. single notes DID have a nice round tone and a nice "blossom", but for "chugging" or any sort of palm-muting rhythm techniques, the bottom just seemed to fall apart and flap around. the amp does have some unique and useful features, and the lead tone was fairly happening. i think this head would be great in a multi-amp setup, using it for your lead tones or single note passages. but for rhythm playing, it just wasn't happening for me. when dialed in, single notes have a nice "bonamassa" - type quality to them, and there is plenty of gain on tap in either channel; nice mids, and a sweet high end. overall, for a quasi- three channel amp, i just couldn't get it to do 3 things well, let alone one. my advice would be to check this amp out in person in a store first......youtube vids seem to add the appropriate e.q. and compression to make it sound tight and thick....not really the case in the real world.
Style of Music: most styles.....harder rock, classic rock, modern rock, blues, funk, metal

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
