About this listing
This version of our Dark Gene amplifier utilizes classic JCM800 topology to deliver searing lead tones with the characteristically smooth texture of those legendary amps and its predecessors from decades prior. Our version is not just a copy and paste of the original preamp however, as some tasteful tweaks have been implemented to keep our customers more than satisfied with the versatility we offer. This option keeps the same controls but is centered more appropriately in the midrange. The SENSITIVITY control offers the user incredible dynamic response by bringing the mids forward or scooping them back drastically, as well as accommodating the effectiveness of the TREBLE and BASS controls. GAIN 1 is stronger than your typical gain control in its ability to control two stages simultaneously. Cleaner tones can by achieved by dialing this control back. The 3 position TOP/MID boost switch is defeated with GAIN 1 at maximum rotation. GAIN 2 serves as a master volume. NOTE: This model does not offer switchable clean/dirty operation via GAIN 2 control and comes with a green LED indicator.
About our Dark Gene amp:
Running in true class A operation, the Dark Gene circuit is two 12AX7s for the preamp and a 12AU7 for output power. High gain, hand wired point to point circuitry and as cheap as a lot of pedals. For a high gain design, these amps are impressively quiet. Dimensions are remarkably 7" W 5" D and 4" H. Powder coated in semi glossy jet black for maximum durability. ‘Preamp’ output jack can be used to drive other devices and is ideal for driving effects pedals such as reverbs, delays and cab sims.
