Albion TCT50H Guitar Amplifier Head (50 Watts)

No longer available at zZounds
This guitar amp head from Albion allows for maximum creativity.

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 read more 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

Not sure what the one guy is talking about as far as flabby low end, and he can't seem to get it to do what he wants. This only goes to show the reason why this amp was built for the MATURE player not the novice, and especially not the metal heads. Albion is true to boutique as it claims. Furthermore what Steve has created is what Marshal and Vox could never create. The perfect mix of both amps styles. While everyone else is out competing with each other, on who can build the best tube amp today, Albion has already done it. Hands down the best of all worlds. There is however a different type of learning curve. Remember when you could barely turn a knob and change would actually happen? Well here it is. Do with it what you will. If you are a Mature player, you will get it.
