The BD1 is exactly the same as the RD1 Rob Chapman Signature Head, but in a standard black finish. One channel, no mess Ultra compact and single channel, the BD1 is a superb rock machine designed for real sound at all valves wherever you go. Despite the tiny body, the EL84 dual fixed bias power section delivers up to 28 watts in full power mode and just 2 watts in low power. And it's just 263mm wide - smaller than a sheet of A4 paper and super easy to navigate.

And it's just 263mm wide - smaller than a sheet of A4 paper and super easy to navigate. Single channel, single gain Just grab your guitar, plug it in, and relax. The BD1's overall gain range goes from nearly clean (don't expect a lot of clean wiggle room!) To full rock distortion. The gain and master balancing brings you to your ideal gain sweet spot, while everything responds to your pickups and your guitar's volume potentiometer like a dynamic tube amp should. Countour, Bright and Deep An interactive set of EQ controls with incredible versatility. Contour boosts bass and lowers mids when turned clockwise (and vice versa), which takes you from metallic tones at mid-range to classic rock-approved vocal mids. The Deep switch increases the low frequency response of the power amp; Bright, yes, makes it brighter! High and Low Power Modes The fixed bias power section provides up to 28 watts in high power mode and only 2 watts in low power mode. From the stage to the bedroom without any problem. Effects Loop with Mixing The BD1 series effects loop has a dedicated mixer control so you can hear as many or as few loop effects as you want. A little or a lot - your choice. BD1 Key Features & Specifications Format: Single Channel Single Valve Head Power: 28/2 watts RMS Valves: 3 x 12AX7, 2 x EL84 Size (mm): 263 (w) x 170 (h) x 195 (d) including controls, handle and feet Weight: 6 kg / 13.2 lbs Additional Features: Illuminated switch Deep switch Contour control Serial effects loop with wet / dry mix control High and low power modes Bag of padded transport included
