Louis Electric KR12 40 Watt Tube Combokr12 ampThe KR12 is an EL34-based, single 12" combo. It is the result of Louis Rosano`s longstanding work with Hubert Sumlin and Keith Richards. The KR12`s four inputs offer different levels of gain from crisp, crunchy throatiness to a hefty vintage rock bark.Based on the Louis Electrinc M12 used by Sumlin, the KR12 has several gain options and unmatched headroom, but preserves the warmth of a 1950`s and 1960`s vintage style amp. The KR12 has Volume and Master Volume controls, middle, treble, bass plus Presence. And, lurking on the underside of the chasis, a little Damping knob which adjusts the level of negative feedback which is an excellent feature to have because most amplifiers only offer fixed resistor which limits tone shaping.Winner of 2004 Guitar Player Editors` Pick awardClassification: AB1, fixed bias Power output: 40 wattsSpeaker: Celestion G12 H75 or Classic Lead 80Speaker load: 8 ohms Controls: Volume, Master Volume, Treble, Bass, Middle, Presence.Four Gain InputsDamping Control to alter feedback circuitPre Amp Tubes: 3-12AX7Output Tubes: 2-EL34Rectifier: 1-5AR4Height: 17 1/2", Width: 23 1/2", Depth: 8 3/4"Weight: 48 lbs.Eyelet Terminal board constructionHand Selected caps and resistorsCustom designed hand built transformersBelton tube socketsSwitchcraft and Carling input jacks and switchesHigh quality machine grade fastenersMoisture free circuit board
