Channel one is a classic style mid driven American-voiced bluesy overdrive. While it has plenty of gain on tap, it also features a smooth warm and round overdrive tone.
It can be run clean by lowering the input gain and raising the output master. High, Mid and Low controls offer a wide tonal range.
Channel two features a mid scooped traditional high gain metal voicing. An aggressive edge on the high end, an extended chunk on the low end, with amp gain to shred, hammer
and scream, to your hearts delight. Both channels are pedal friendly and feature dedicated tubes for each channel (no shared tubes) to permit selecting tubes to enhance each
channels tonal signature.
Low noise is assured through careful internal grounding, DC preamp tube filaments, as well as shielded audio cables and selected tubes throughout. The all-tube effects
loop can be bypassed when not in use, and engaged via the rear panel loop switch. It also features high and low gain modes, for pedal or rack style effects use. The power
amp features a high energy power supply with high speed switching diodes, a precision wound choke, and a large power supply reserve for tight controlled response up to full
power. Like all Fuchs amps, it’s built on an aircraft grade aluminum T-6 aluminum chassis with fan cooling and stainless steel hardware throughout. A custom would output
transformer has 4,8 and 16 ohm outputs, and is highly overrated and custom wound for Fuchs. The power stage features presence and thrust controls. Presence adjusts the high
end response from smooth to edgy, while Thrust adjusts the level and tightness of the low end to get maximum bass from any speaker cabinet.
