NC-based TopHat Amplifiers has brought together aspects of some of the most revered amps in history with their Super Deluxe amp. It features a preamp based on a Vox Top Boost, Fender Tweed Bassman, and Marshall Plexi mixed with a Vox AC30 type phase inverter and no-negative feedback, cathode biased output section.
Don't speak guitar nerd? :-)
Simply put, this is a 33 watt combo that's perfect for recording, gigs, home playing or any place you want to indulge in some incredibly dynamic, touch sensitive, rich clean or overdriven tones.
Housed in a gorgeous Ivory tolex cabinet, this Super Deluxe features an upgraded Celestion Alnico Cream speaker, EL34 tubes, and the optional Variac switch which lowers the amp's voltage, allowing you to turn the master volume up and achieve more power tube distortion at the same output level! More tone, less volume.
Controls include gain, master volume (which is very well designed/executed), treble/middles/bass, cut, variac switch, boost and bright switches, and hi and lo inputs.
Whether you're into single coils, P90s, or humbuckers, the Super Deluxe has enough flexibility to dial in really inspiring classic rock-centric tones at either stage or home volumes - and - you'll look damned good doing it!
