SECTOR SPOTLIGHT COMBOS
Albion
As well as the already popular TCT35C, Albion now has stock of the AG40DFX . Retailing at £379, the Steve Grindrod designed 40-Watt 1x12” hybrid guitar combo has a high voltage FET/valve preamp; twin footswitchable channels with shared three-band EQ and a 16 program digital effects system. Also available is the TCT35C, a twin channel 1x12” combo. It offers 35 Watts RMS into eight or 16ohms, four 12AX7 and two 6L6 valves; a large magnet 80- Watt 12” Albion made loudspeaker and a two-way footswitch (included). It retails for around £649. Lastly, the GS15C single channel four voice 1x12” combo offers 20 Watts RMS into an eight/16 ohm load powered by three 12AX7 and two 6V6G valves. A two-way footswitch is included.
Vox
Vox kicked off its line of guitar amplifiers back in '57. It took only a few years for the AC15 and AC30 to become instant legends, defining the sound of the British Invasion for the UK and the world. Today the company offers the famous AC15 and AC30 models in various guises, ranging from the AC15/30 Custom models (including a special Blue Limited edition model this summer), to the Hand Wired Series with turret board construction. The line up features a number of other AC-inspired combo amp ranges to suit different budgets and playing styles, including the Valve Reactor models. The Valvetronix+ range, available in a number of speaker/output power configurations, uses patented Valve Reactor technology. The VT+ responds just like a valve amp, while at the same time gives the flexibility and portability of a solid state amp. For the guitarist that wants a compact practice amp, the classically styled Vox MINI-3 features digital amp modelling and a variety of different effects. In more recent years, Vox introduced the AGA series, designed for the acoustic guitarist. The top of the range AGA150 utilises a Bang & Olufsen power amp module, delivering a clean and powerful sound.
Mesa Boogie
The TA-30 Transatlantic is the big brother to the TA-15 and maintains the same stylistic footprint of its sibling, while offering more power, tube reverb and a new effects loop. The two channels have five switchable voice modes between them and plenty of power to take this amp into the pro gigging arena. Available in 1x12 (£1,899) to 2x12 (£1,999) combos. Deeply rooted in the Best of British lineage, the Electra Dyne takes modified English gain sounds and sorts them into LO and HIGH regions. These two choices are combined with a retro-minded, American-voiced clean channel, linked to one mini-toggle that gives you three of the most classic sounds in rock n roll on one switch. There are two versions – 1x12 (£2,199) and 2x12 (£2,299).
