![]() ![]() Running in true class A operation, the Dark Gene circuit is two 12AX7s for the preamp and a 12AU7 for output power. NOTE: This model does not offer switchable clean/dirty operation via GAIN 2 control and comes with a green LED indicator. The 3 position TOP/MID boost switch is defeated with GAIN 1 at maximum rotation. Cleaner tones can by achieved by dialing this control back. GAIN 1 is stronger than your typical gain control in its ability to control two stages simultaneously. 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. ![]() This option keeps the same controls but is centered more appropriately in the midrange. 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 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. This model comes with a red LED indicator. In high gain mode, GAIN 2 is active as the master volume and defeated in low gain mode, when pulled out. GAIN 1 acts as the drive control and defeats the TOP/MID 3 position boost switch when turned to maximum rotation. The SENSITIVITY control serves to adjust the midrange when used, accommodating the TREBLE and BASS controls’ effectiveness as turned down. This model features a unique blackface style preamp and a completely original overdrive section. With switchable low/high gain operation via a push/pull GAIN 2 pot, there is more versatility with this model, achieving exceptionally warm jazz tones, jangly cleans or smoking lead tones with singing sustain. As a one man shop, each unit is meticulously hand wired one at a time to ensure our superior quality is met. We challenge you to find comparable quality like ours at this price point anywhere else in the USA. Our Dark Gene amplifier is the absolute best value in a completely hand wired, true point to point tube amplifier available today and comes in two tonal shades, RED or GREEN.
