D-TONE Overdrive Specialist 2-channel tube guitar head amplifier.
This amp is based on the famous Dumble Overdrive Special amp no. #102 This head is 50W (2x6L6 tubes). The D-TONE AMPS are 100% hand-wired, soldered point-to-point (p2p) on turret board - as amplifiers were built in the 50s-70s. This type of amps are significantly clearer sounding and with better dynamics than amps made on a PCB board.
The CLEAN channel has a open clear and dynamic sound and the OVERDRIVE channel, due to the specific cascade construction of the preamp has a soft "creamy" distortion with a lot of harmonics. The amplifier has two inputs: NOR and FET, distinguishing it from many classic tube heads. NOR input is a standard input socket with 1M impedance. FET input is supported by a JFET transistor. It has an additional signal boost and is dedicated to electric guitars with a low output signal.
Both channels have a typical EQ, MASTER VOLUME and PRESENCE correction as well as switches: BRIGHT (high-frequency boost), MID (mid-frequency boost) and JAZZ/ROCK (changing sound characteristics in the entire frequency band). On OVERDRIVE channel in VOLUME knob we added push-pull switch with extra BRIGHT frequency boost. This solution gives even better possibilities to adjust the sound between CLEAN/OVERDRIVE channel.
