Suhr Badger 18. This amp head is in excellent condition and with the power scaling you can get the power tubes working at any volume, from a very loud 18 watts down to a low bedroom volume. This is a very nice amp. The effects loop works very well at taking pedals without changing your tone. Description: This 18-watt, all-tube amplifier offers a wide range of classic guitar sounds. Driven by a cathode biased EL-84 power section and features a 5Y3GT tube rectifier, the Badger 18 delivers a variety of warm, sparkling cleans and rich, dynamic overdrive tones. Whether playing a large stage, small club or your home studio Badger’s Power Scaling feature provides added flexibility. This makes it easy to dial in your ideal tone at any volume - from loud and cranked, all the way down to one watt. POWER Power Scaling emulates the tonal response of a high wattage amp on 10, at manageable volumes. Power controls the voltage that feeds the output section and in turn, the wattage. As you lower the voltage of the power section you are reducing the amount of signal it can handle before clipping the output section. To compensate for this we use the "Drive" control so you can easily scale down to 4 watts without losing tone & feel. DRIVE Feeds the input to the power section. With Power at 10 it acts as a master volume. As a rule of thumb, when you turn down the Power always set the Drive control within 2 numbers of the Power setting. If you set the drive lower than the power it will sound brighter, like a "master volume" amp. GAIN Controls the amount of preamp gain by controlling 2 cascading gain stages simultaneously to drive the input stage. TONE CONTROLS Bass, Middle and Treble tone controls for each channel are post-gain and passive cut-style. We recommend starting around 5 and dialing to taste. As you increase Gain and/or Drive we recommend dialing back the Bass to retain clarity and definition in the low-end. TUBES The Badger 18 tube compliment consists of two EL84 power tubes, three 12AX7 preamp tubes and one 5Y3GT rectifier tube. TUBE-BUFFERED EFFECTS LOOP Performs equally well with pedals and line-level rack gear. For best results ensure that the effects unit is set to unity gain. SPEAKER OUTPUTS Includes two sets of speaker outputs wired in parallel: 8 Ω OHM:(1@8Ω or 2@16Ω) 4Ω OHM :(1@4Ω or 2@8Ω) SPECIFICATIONS: Output: 18 Watts Tubes: 2-EL84, 3-12AX7 and 1-5Y3GT Panel controls: On/Off, Power, Drive, Bass, Middle, Treble Gain Outputs: Dual speaker outputs: 4Ω, 8Ω & 16Ω impedance Cabinet: Void free Baltic birch ply Dimensions: Head: 20.5" wide x 9.25" high x 8.25" deep
