Description:
The CVPlate-T is essentially an improved/modernized clone of the original late 1950's V54S tube amps found in the very first production plate reverbs of the late 1950s. All class-A/single-ended on both pickup and drive amps; results in super thick and warm sound with lots of pleasing harmonic distortion and the ability to push the amp into some amazing tube distortion!

The CVPlate-T adds expanded EQ options on the front panel to include: 4-position stepped driver LPF, HPF (as per the original), pickup HPF, and on-board jumpers to disable the built-in mid-cut and high-boost pickup EQ's (if you'd prefer to use your own outboard EQ instead).

It uses modern-production equivalents to the tubes used in the original since some of them are rather expensive and/or starting to get more rare. For authenticity all tube-types are the same as the original, i.e. the EF804S pentode is now EF806S/EF86 pentode, E80CC dual-triode is now the ECC99 dual triode (pin-compatible with original tube), and the E81L power pentode is now the EL84/EL844 power pentode. There are TONS of possible tube combinations and additional substitutes that tube-nerds might want to try out!

The beefy power supply features low-noise fully-regulated DC on all outputs, to include the filament. The noise is so low, its actually on-par with the super quiet solid state version! This is one of the safest power supplies around, with redundant thermal overload protection and 4 x fuses. Externally accessible voltage trim and standard 2mm multimeter test points make this a service techs dream come true!

The suspension has been improved to allow for fast & easy 1-bolt shipping lockdown - making it by far the easiest plate to ship or travel with!
