Roland BOLT-30 Tube Amp 2-Channel 30-Watt 1x12" Guitar Combo 1979【 About This item 】Roland's BOLT series tube amps were only manufactured for a short period of time.In the late 1970s, rock and hard rock were sweeping the world, and new amp brands such as and MesaBoogie were creating new music. Roland did not miss out on this trend.In 1977, Roland introduced the "OD-1" under the BOSS brand and advocated the Roland overdrive sound.In 1979, Roland launched the BOLT series. ( The 30-watt BOLT-30 and 60-watt BOLT-60.)These were specifications that set them apart from the competition.・RCA vacuum tube 12AT7 x1, 7591A x2 ・12-inch (30cm) speaker x1 Following the common specs of the famous vintage Fender amplifiers, it was equipped with a high-performance speaker and overdrive circuit that we had established in-house.【 About Sound 】The sound is a coexistence of the “good graininess typical of tube amplifiers” and the "good separation typical of Roland". The design of the amp is such that it does not sound unnecessarily round and sweet, even though it is a tube amp.This is especially noticeable in the clean sound of the Normal channel.When the volume on the guitar side is turned down a little, it feels as if you are really playing an acoustic guitar. The graininess and clarity of the sound is probably the reason for this, and combined with the comfort of the spring reverb installed in the ceiling of the amp, it is the most comfortable sound possible.The Overdrive channel has three volume settings, which can handle everything from crunch to overdrive sounds. This channel can also be used to create a sticky overdrive sound. It is very convenient to switch channels with a footswitch.The original overdrive circuitry provides warm overdrive sound.Why? The answer, this circuit is the circuit of the rare pedal “Boss OD-1”.The “Boss OD-1” was released in 1977, followed by the “Boss SD-1” in 1981. In order to end sales of the Boss OD-1 accordingly, the Boss OD-1 circuit was used in the overdrive channel of the Roland BOLT series, which was released in 1979.Don't tell anyone ;)In fact, that Stevie Ray Vaughan was also a fan of the 60-watt BOLT-60.As a guitarist who loves Tube Screamer and loves to make tube amps roar, it is easy to imagine that he would love the sound of the Roland BOLT by feel."Roland OD-1 circuit makes tube amps roar“ and ”TS makes tube amps roar" These points must have excited his Texas Blood!(The only difference from the BOLT-30 is the output and the effects loop.)BOLT-30s this clean and in good condition are rare!【Specs】 ・Voltage：100V ・Output：30W (R.M.S) ・Speaker：12inch x1 (30cm) ・Tube：12AT7 x1, 7591A x2 (by RCA) ・Input：HI / LOW ・Controls：OVER DRIVE Vol-1 ,Vol-2 , MasterVol NORMAL Vol EQUALIZER - BASS, MIDDLE, TREBLE, REVERB ・Switch：Power Switch Standby Foot Switch (OVER DRIVE / REVERB) ・Jacks：PRE OUT / MAIN IN / HEAD PHONE ・Size：500 x 470 x 280mm The overall condition of the instrument is excellent.There are some signs of past use and age, such as dents.Condition of this amp is hard to believe it is 46 years old!NOTE:*Our amp ship tracked and insured.*Any import duties or taxes are buyer’s responsibility.
