It's definitely aired towards more of the classic vibe of tones. The EQ controls work fairly well on each channel to shape a variety of tones, and the overall smooth and refined character is pleasing to the ear it's not rough or grating sounding. I find it has a bit more of a US voicing as opposed to British, though that classic UK roar can be heard peeking through the sound spectrum at times. Other than the cascading drive controls it's a very typical amp and will respond as such. Setting up this amp is a fairly standard process. Each side is capable of about 100 watts of power and it serves well in jam and gig settings. The featureset is pretty standard, but it overshadows needless features for great tone. There's also onboard reverb and an effects loop. Each channel has it's own EQ and the drive channel contains unique cascading gain controls labelled drive (amount of saturation) and stack (changing the tonestack to suit different styles of playing). It's a two channel amp with clean and drive channels. The Genz Benz owned company used the MosValve technologies to simulate the tones of a tube power section at any volume. The Tube Works RT2100 is a 1x12 combo dual channel guitar amplifier that contains the infamous MosValve technology of the eighties and nineties. A little too loud to play now flat.įYI, the photo is the 2x12 version, "that I have. But he has earned by his tone and powerful sound, what I wanted at the time. Noise level is high, which makes for some nice neighbors, or when lowering the master, but you lose sound presence. I love this amp for channel 1 and sticking to crunch wish. The "stack", the sound is more open, but the grain is harder. I compensate by adding a pedal to boost the treble to mount. Channel 2 rather shady side amps English, with lots of mids and sound a bit dull. But in his chosen field, this is the class.Ĭhannel 1 has a crunch that is strongly reminiscent of Fender Blackface.

I never managed to get a good jazz above. This is an amp of blues, rock and hard rock.

It is possible to control the electronic diagram in genzbenz, which bought the brand 15 years ago. The "stack" gives many voices at once! Attention to the ears and at for group play. Setup is simple because that is the most common. It is possible to connect a pedal on a stereo plug to control more mono channels, the "stack" and reverb. But this amp can send more than some competitors 100W.Ī spring reverb is intéfrée directly into the amp behind the membranes.Ĭonnectivity point of view, there is a parallel effects loop with a trimming mix and levels out in a direct line level outputs and two speakers. These two channels arrive on a floor "solid state" is meant in MOSFET reproducing a power stage lamps, famuex mosvalve. On the second channel, are possible to add the "stack", which is a clipping diode providing grain heavier distortion and more acute. The second channel simply reproduces the real tube overdrive pedal to tubeworks.

The combo takes first channel circuit pedal BK Butler Chandler Tube '70s. I'm not sure what to do with this fella, but I have a feeling it will stay in the shop as a guitar demo unit (I do like the cleans mixed with the spring reverb) until someone needs a beat-up rawk machine.This is a 2-channel amplifier and a half, developed by BK Butler. It seems that the tolex-covered (rather than felt-covered) versions of these are a little rarer and they sure look a lot better. The upper (non-padded) jack also does not hold plugs all that well compared to the lower. The jacks are all those panel-style ones with the irritating plastic threads, too, so you have to be careful about not over-tightening them. It's now ready to roll, though it does show plenty of wear-and-tear to the tolex covering and metal hardware.

My own work on it included fixing things that'd been fudged before: it needed a new 3-prong cord installed as someone had clipped the ground prong, all the pots needed spraying-out and the jacks needed tightening, the two preamp tubes needed replacing (I just stuck some spare Chinese 12AX7 ones in there but would put lower-gain tubes in if I were planning to get a more bluesy tone), it needed a serious amount of cleaning-up, the fiber-board holder for the speaker connector tabs needed to be fixed back onto the speaker's frame, and the speaker cable needed replacing as it'd been hacked-up.
