The Granger M45 "Classic" valve amplifier is conceptually designed for vintage tone and simplicity. If you want that vintage 60's "Plexi" tone and the touch sensitivity those amps are recognized for, this is it - and then some. The controls are simple. There are no footswitches, internal relays, or other signal-degrading components. It is based on tried and true circuitry and rock-solid construction methods. As with some of the vintage amps of the 60s and 70s, each channel has two inputs, one high and one low impedance, and a volume control. A (post phase inverter) master volume (based on Ken Fisher's design) can be added to achieve additional crunch at lower volumes, and at full clockwise position is effectively removed from the circuit. Each channel shares the standard Bass, Middle and Treble tone stack and Presence control. The inputs can be jumpered to utilize both channels with channel 1 being the bright and channel 2 being the normal voicing. The preamp consists of 3 ECC83S valves and power is rectified by a GZ34/5AR4 rectifier valve. The power section runs on two KT66 which produces more than 45 watts when fully overdriven into saturation. EL34s or E34Ls can be substituted during ordering if you prefer more aggressive upper-mid bite. For the service-minded player, an external bias adjustment with low voltage test points allows the user to bias the amp when replacing valves without removing the chassis.
