How would you describe the sound of the 3/100 Head?
Most guitarists are basically looking for a choice of between 3 and 5 different sounds, including: a warm, dynamic, sparkling clear tone that stays clean even at high volume settings; a crunch channel that can switch between a vintage tweed tone, a hard british overdrive, and a powerful, creamy, rich lead channel, full of sustain for those times when you really want to rock out!  This channel is truly capable of producing a devastating metal roar. This is what the 3/100 Head is all about - switch it on and prepare to be blown away.

 

What's new, original features does the 3/100 Head offer?
The 3/100 Head offers an array of unique features, first among which is the boost control for solos. The amp features two master volume controls, one for rhythm and one for solo, so the guitarist is free to choose from a total of 3 channels and 6 volume settings. The real bonus here is that the solo function boosts the ouput level and the gain at the same time. This is important in that, when soloing, guitarists want to achieve a sound that has higher levels of gain and sustain than those used during rhythm parts.

Another brand-new feature of the 3/100 Head is the ability to use effects, such as delays and reverbs from a digital signal processor and to then match them to each channel and to the 'solo' function using the supplied foot-switch, without resorting to a separate MIDI pedal board.  In practice, it's just like having a digital signal processor incorporated in a valve amp.

Last but not least, for those who want to emulate the sounds of rock and metal, the lead channel includes a 'shaping' function that can be pre-set, allowing you to switch instantly between a distorted rhythm part scooped on midrange tones, to a solo that is flat in the midrange, thus providing more note definition. All of this has been designed in the name of maximum flexibility and ease of use. It also sports a 'Half Power' switch that allows you to reduce power levels by up to 50% for when you're playing in small clubs or in studios but want the same dynamics you would get at 100w.

This is certainly a very different amp from the 3/100 Head.
Actually, the 2/50 Head is the same as the 2/50-2 Combo but in a head format. This, along with the fact that it can be connected to any type of cabinet, makes the 2/50 Head an exceptionally useful tool for those who are always on the move and need to have instant access to a range of utterly convincing tones covering all music genres from jazz to blues and heavy rock.

Yet it also manages to be extremely portable.
The weight and footprint have been minimized to allow you to carry it like a suitcase, it offers you a practically infinite number of sounds and is so versatile that it can be connected to any type of cabinet.

How does the sound change from one cabinet to the other?
The basic tone is identical to that of the 2/50-2 Combo, and - depending on the type of cabinet you use - you can color your sound in different ways. For example, if you connect it to a 2x12 open-back cabinet, you'll achieve a vintage-style, open, three-dimensional sound that is similar to that made by a combo amp. Whereas, if you attach it to a 4x12, you can produce an immense wall of sound, rich and well defined at the low end, more suitable for rock. Connected to a 4x10, the 2/50 Head gives you greater definition in the midrange, creating a decidedly bluesy sound.

Exceptional Versatility!  With this amp, it's easy to take advantage of the two channels to achieve an impressive quality sound, since you have at your disposal a clean channel that's deep, bright and dynamic, and a lead channel with the capacity to reproduce a surprisingly rich variety of overdrive sounds, encompassing everything from 'vintage tweed' to the powerful, pumped-up British distortion. And as the tone controls are separate for each channel, you can set different levels of equalization for each of those channels, making this, all in all, an exceptionally versatile amp.

 

What are the other special features of this amp?  Just like the single speaker and head versions, the rear panel features a series/parallel Effects Loop that allows you to efficiently use the amp in conjunction with any effect.  Presence and Resonance controls allow you to fine-tune the highs and lows to cater to the acoustics of the venue where you're playing. There's also a Full Power/Half Power function that allows you to reduce the power down to 25W when you're playing in small club - still retaining the tone of the higher volume setting.

Newly Updated with separate tone controls for each channel, just like the two-speaker version!  The single speaker 2/50 Combo is made for those who need to have a wide range of high-quality sounds on hand for use in rehearsal, recording and TV studios or small clubs. The midrange response is such that the 2/50 Combo always stands out in the mix. It is ready for connection to an additional cabinet and can also be used as a head together with a more powerful cabinet.

What can you tell us about the rear panel?
The single-speaker version rear panel has exactly the same functions as the twin-speaker version, so there is a series/parallel Effect Loop that allows you to use the amp in conjunction with any effect in the most efficient way.  There are also Presence and Resonance controls for fine-tuning the highs and lows to cater to the acoustics of the venue where you're playing, and then there's a Full Power/Half Power function that allows you to reduce the power down to 25W when you're playing in small club - still retaining the tone of the higher volume setting.
