SHELDON TRUETONE TT-1 2x12 HANDWIRED BRITISH GUITAR AMP COMBO** 3 Day Only Sale Price **
Please look carefully at the pics as they form part of the description, sold as seen.A rare opportunity to acquire this brand of British, hand-wired valve combo, as they rarely come up for sale in this size & configuration: 2 x 12 combo, with 'HOT' preamp - 3 x 12AX7 valves - the standard version now only comes with 2 x 12AX7. The power stage can use either 2 or 4 valves, and supports many different types (EL34, 6L6, etc), and the amp is unusual in that the design allows for biasing by the user - no need to take it to an amp tech when you change valves!In excellent condition - it's never been out of the house! Comes with footswitch, manual and cover (pictured). It's on castors which make it a doddle to move around. This spec, including optional castors plus delivery, currently retails at over £2400.Manufacturer's TT1 Specification:A 35w to 85w ClassAB push-pull Amplifier (and all points in between!). Choice of output valves. Pre-amp uses 12AX7's on all models. Simple 'uncluttered' classic pre-amp design, using a minimum number of gain stages to optimize true guitar tone and reduce inherent noise levels. Tone controls designed to give a wide range of control over tone settings. Foot switch-able and variable level boost. Footswitch supplied with every applicable amplifier. B.J.T. (BI-polar Junction Transistor) based switching for silent and reliable switching of boost mode. Triode/Pentode selectable modes. Pentode mode gives full power whilst triode mode gives approximately half power with greater emphasis on even harmonics and thus a sweeter overall tone response. DC stand - off heaters on valve filaments to reduce hum. Special filter circuitry in power supply to reduce rectifier diode switching noise and thus reduce RF noise. This improves the amp response very subtly. Combines small amount of cathode bias with fixed bias to provide compression when being run hard. This smoothes out the response and rounds out the tone when flat out. Easily accessed external bias controls to optimize output section to users choice of output valve, and to ensure optimum performance from chosen valve set. Point to point hand wired using circuit card and eyelet construction on 3.5 thick blue board for robust build quality and easy future maintenance. Red, Ivory and Black covering as standard. No PCB’s of any description.More details here: http://sheldonamps.com/truetone/readtt1.html~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I accept payment by postal order, cheque, bank transfer and Paypal.All my items are sent using a signed for service.
