TopHat Super Deluxe MK. V 12" Ivory w/Alnico Cream Speaker, Variac Switch, Cover
This is a consignment piece. Please be aware of our return policy.
The variac switch that lowers voltages to 90 volt wall power, instead of the full 120 volt mode. This provides a softer and earlier breakup, as well lowers the output...allowing you to turn the master up and achieve more power tube distortion at the same output level.
The New Super Deluxe features a slightly refined EQ and a larger output transformer to process the larger 6L6 Power Tubes. The Super Deluxe puts out 33 watts of cathode biased Class A Power. Not only does it have larger power transformer, but it also features larger output transformers and is biased to handle 6L6's, EL34's and 6V6's without adjustment. The Super Deluxe features a preamp based on the TopBoost, Tweed Bassman and plexi Marshall arrangement -- mixed with an AC30 type phase inverter and no-negative feedback, cathode biased output section. It lays right in the midst of 3 of the greatest amps of all time. The 30-35 watt power is more than a 20 watter and less than a 45-50 watter, obviously -- but, it really works well for the real world playing environments!!!
