LANEY CUB HEAD Κεφαλή Ηλεκτρικής Κιθάρας 15W με Reverb

Κεφαλή της Laney από τη σειρά CAB με προενίσχυση λυχνίας και πραγματική ισχύ 15 Watt. Προσφέρει κλασικό, λαμπάτο ʽʼΒρετανικόʼʼ ήχο και αισθητική που παραπέμπει στο παρελθόν. Ο σχεδιασμός περιλαμβάνει control panel στην πάνω πλευρά της κεφαλής με ρυθμιστικά gain, treble, middle, bass, volume, tone καθώς και reverb. H χρήση του είναι ιδιαίτερα απλή καθώς το μόνο που απαιτείται είναι η σύνδεση της κιθάρας σας στο input και τίποτα παραπάνω.    

Η κεφαλή CUB HEAD ενσωματώνει 3 λυχνίες ECC83 και 2 λυχνίες EL84, προσφέροντας έτσι το καλύτερο δυνατό ήχο. Η κεφαλή περιλαμβάνει δύο (2) εισόδους εκ των οποίων η πρώτη προσφέρει 15W RMS λαμπάτου ήχου ενώ η δεύτερη έναν ισχυρό ήχο με κάποια ιδιαιτερότητα όμως. Η δεύτερη είσοδος υπολογίζει την παραγόμενη ισχύ διαφορετικά και το ένα (1) Watt χάνει το 25% της δύναμης του. Με καθαρά αριθμητικά δεδομένα το ένα (1) Watt φαίνεται μικρό μέγεθος ωστόσο δεν πρέπει να ξεχνάμε ότι μιλάμε πάντα για ισχύ που παράγεται από λυχνία και όχι τρανζίστορ.    

Η διαφοροποίηση και ιδιαιτερότητα της δεύτερης εισόδου δίνει την δυνατότητα στον κιθαρίστα να χρησιμοποιήσει περισσότερο το Drive αυξάνοντας την ποσότητα του σε συνάρτηση πάντα με το γενικό Volume έχοντας σαν αποτέλεσμα έναν εξαιρετικά ισχυρό ήχο. Στην πίσω πλευρά της κεφαλής CUB HEAD υπάρχουν δύο έξοδοι ηχείων στα 8 και 16 Ohm, είσοδος για ποδοδιακόπτη ώστε να μπορείτε να ελέγχετε το Reverb και το Effects loop (Send / Line out socket, Return socket) . H κεφαλή της Laney μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί με οποιαδήποτε καμπίνα της Laney ωστόσο συνδυάζεται ιδανικά με την καμπίνα CUB CAB.

Marshall 2245-01 30W Guitar Amplifier

When Jim Marshall first started manufacturing Marshall amps, back in 1962, the first amp out of the workshop was the JTM45. This amp instantly became a hit and launched a whole new generation of amazing guitar players. Since then, connoisseurs of tone have searched high and low for original examples of this beautiful amp. Now they need search no more, Marshall has re-issued the JTM45 complete with its full quota of glassy clean tone and fluid warm sustain.

By including GZ34 valve rectification, as found in the original, Marshall has ensured a faithful recreation of the JTM45s glorious sound. The GZ34 rectifier valve interacts with the rest of the valves causing subtle harmonics to shift and smoulder beneath every note you play.

Marshall 1959HW 100W Guitar Amplifier

Historical, Tone and Tech Talk The 1959HW is a Class-A/B, all-valve, 100 Watt, two-channel head. When building this handwired re-issue of an amazing sounding, original Plexi head made in 1969, Marshall's goal was both obvious and simple: to make it as close to the original as possible in terms of components, circuitry, constructional methods, materials, specifications, ascetics, signal path, performance, tonal characteristics and feel. Marshall went to incredible lengths to achieve maximum authenticity and are delighted to report that their suppliers were equally as exacting in their tasks - none-more-so than their longtime partner, Dagnall Transformers.

As is now rock folklore, the 1959 came to be when The Who's guitarist, Pete Townshend, approached Marshall in the mid '60s and asked Jim to build him a 'weapon' that would allow him to play so loud that he wouldn't be able to hear what the members of the audience were saying, should they have the sheer audacity to talk whilst he was performing! Jim and his team obliged and within weeks of Pete's request one of rock's most instantly recognizable icons was born - the 100 Watt Marshall stack.

As Jim Marshall has already stated, the 1959 head first saw the light of day in late 1965 and was affectionately dubbed the Plexi because of the material used for its front panel. Although they continued to build 1959s, the now legendary Plexi-era came to an end in July 1969 when they started using gold anodized aluminum panels instead of Plexiglas. While all original Plexi 1959s are held in the highest esteem, several subtly different but tonally significant circuit variations existed the most celebrated and revered versions being those made between 1967 and 1969.

The circuit Marshall has revisited for the 1959HW boasts several of said 'tonally significant' variants when compared to the slightly later circuit Marshall uses for their critically acclaimed, standard-production Plexi re-issue the 1959SLP. The most sonically relevant technical departures in question lie in the negative feedback circuit. Where relevant, specific details concerning these 'deviations', and others, are inserted into the text labelled as 'Tonal Notes'.

As you can see from its front panel layout, the 1959HW is an extremely straightforward amplifier. Its two channels - Channel I and Channel II - each have two inputs (High and Low sensitivity) and separate Volume controls, while sharing the amplifier's four tone controls: Presence, Bass, Middle and Treble. Like all Marshall, all-valve amplifiers, the 1959 sounds at its very best when turned up full - and because of its conservative power rating and astonishing projection, is a formidable live amplifier in even the largest of venues. A truth its impressive history has proven time-and-time again, from the mid '60s to current day.

In keeping with its other non-master-volume, all-valve, Marshall brethren such as the JTM45 head and the 1962 'Bluesbreaker' combo, the 1959HW's aggressive yet sweetly distorted, harmonically rich, thick, musical tones result from its power valves being overdriven. As a result, when 'cranked' the 1959HW's instantly recognizable, guttural, 'punch you in the chest' roar is incredibly touch-sensitive, cleaning up or, if desired, sitting right on the edge of distortion when the guitar's volume is turned down. Not surprisingly, it responds well to picking dynamics too, indefatigably 'in-your-face' when you play like you really mean it and, once again, cleaning up as you pull back on your picking attack.

Technical Features

Valve compliment:Three ECC83s (12AX7s) in the pre-amp and a quartet of EL34 power valves working in push-pull. All valves are of the highest quality available and are subjected to meticulous grading and testing processes.

The way the three ECC83s (V1, V2 & V3) in the pre-amp are utilized is as follows:
V1 acts as the pre-amp gain stage for the High Treble and Normal channels - each half of the valve (the ECC83 being a dual-triode) acting as a dedicated gain stage for each channel.

V2 is common to both channels, which are passively summed before reaching this valve. The first half of V2 acts as a common second gain stage, boosting the combined signal, and then directly driving the second half of the valve which is configured as a cathode follower. The cathode follower is a unity gain device which acts as a buffer, providing a low impedance signal to drive the tone network.

Tonal Note 1:The second gain stage of the 1969 circuit they've faithfully reproduced boasts an extra cathode bypass capacitor which boosts upper-mids and top-end.

V3 acts as the amplifier's phase-splitter. This device divides the signal into two halves that are 180 degree out-of-phase with each other, and then feed the 1959's push-pull output stage.

Tone Circuit:In typical Marshall fashion, the shared tone network of this handwired 1959 re-issue is post gain, passive and interactive - the later simply meaning that the settings of the Bass and Treble controls affect the amount of mid-dip available via the Middle control.

Tonal Note 2:The Middle control is a 10% log pot, unlike the linear one found in the regular production 1959SLP. This greatly changes the dynamic of the whole tonal network and the interaction of its controls.

Components:Where possible they have gone back to the original suppliers for all components, to maintain the highest quality- including, as per the original, a U-clamp mounted choke as opposed to the fully shrouded, stand-up smoothing choke used in the majority of Marshall valve amplifiers. Also included is a custom-built 50μF single can, smoothing capacitor. These are just two examples of the many steps they have taken in order to ensure maximum authenticity.

Tag Boards:The tag boards used in your handwired re-issue is exactly the same as that in the original in terms of surface dimension, thickness and matrix pitch. The material they've using is made exclusively for Marshall and is registered with ULas ?Marshall EM42 brown.? The reason they didn't use a board with the exact same chemical composition as in the original units is because that material doesn't pass current safety legislation regarding flammability.

Transformers:As you are no doubt aware, the output and main transformers are vital components in an amplifier as they influence performance, sound and feel. Consequently, Marshall worked extremely closely with their associates in Dagnall's R&D department in order to duplicate the original transformers. To do this they spent a great deal of time and attention studying and analyzing the constructional methods and materials used in both transformers so they could match everything as closely as possible and also ensure that the all-important electrical characteristics and performance were identical.

Output Transformer:Just like the 1.5 in. original it is an exact replica of in terms of both performance and dimensions, the re-issue transformer is upright-mounting and sits entirely above the chassis. To be exact, this transformer is a C1998 which has a specification date of August 1967

Tonal Note 3:In the vast majority of Marshall valve amplifiers it is a standard design trait that the negative feedback (a circuit that drops the output impedance and thus controls the damping factor of the powerstage) applied around the amplifier is taken from the 8 Ohm tap on the output transformer. Doing this sets the power-amp up for a certain amount of damping that is independent of where you have the amplifier's impedance selector set. This means that, regardless of whether you use a 16, 8 or 4 Ohm cabinet, the damping on the speakers is the same.

This said, as is the case with quite a number of ?Plexi? era 100-watt heads, the negative feedback on the original 1969 circuit Marshall used for this reissue is taken off the actual speaker output itself. This means that the lower the impedance setting, the lower the damping factor - and the lower the damping factor is, the looser and more resonant the sound. Consequently, if you're using a 4 x 12 in. cabinet loaded with 16-ohm speakers that offers 16-ohm and 4-ohm mono inputs (eg: the Marshall 1960A, 1960B, 1960AV or 1960BV cabinets), the 4-ohm input will be looser and more resonant on the low end, while the 16-ohm input will be tighter and more controlled.

Not surprisingly, of the 'tonally significant' variants mentioned in this manual, this one is probably the most significant.

Mains (Power) Transformer: While the original transformer is large, the custom-made Dagnall reissue has been made even larger in order to satisfy strict, current-day safety legislation. Just like the original, the re-issue transformer is what is called a 'drop through, half-shroud', which sits horizontally as opposed to vertically. As with the output transformer, Marshall went to great lengths to ensure that its performance mirrors that of the original, paying particular attention to exactly replicating an effect called 'regulation' - which is the way that the voltage from the transformer that feeds the valve circuitry varies according to load. In terms of the concentric design and performance, this transformer embodies the performance of the 1203-80 original specification first drawn up for Marshall by Drake in February 1967. The original was a 2.5 in. transformer. Due to the aforementioned modern legislations, the reissue is 3 in..

Tonal Note 4:This circuit has the same filtering on the H.T. (high voltage DC, a.k.a. the B+ voltage) line as later versions, a factor that contributes to the 1959HW having a tighter sound than earlier versions.

Chassis:They are using a box-section chassis made from 16 gauge, mild steel with butt-welded corner joints. The steel is also passivated giving lifelong resistance to corrosion.

Marshall's original chassis has a lot of extra holes drilled in it that weren't used. No doubt these existed because the same exact chassis was also used for other products made at the time. The most noticeable 'extra hole' is one on top for a fourth ECC83 and on their reference unit, this particular hole has been covered up with a disc of steel that's been riveted into the two screw holes that would have been used to secure the valve holder, were it there. For the sake of authenticity they have copied all the holes on their reference chassis and have even duplicated the aforementioned circular steel cover!

Front Panel:Extra thick, gold colored Plexiglas (actually Perspex, causing some people to refer to it as 'Perplexi!') - exactly as the original. Specific details pertaining to the front panel features can be found on page 5 of this manual.

Rear Panel:Once again, gold Plexiglas - just like the original Marshall referenced.

Cabinet Construction:High-grade, flawless (knot-free) Baltic birch-ply with finger locked joints for maximum strength. The main cabinet frame (both sides, top and bottom) are 15mm ply, the front baffle is constructed from 12mm ply while the back of the cabinet is 9mm ply. All edges have a 15mm radius.

Cabinet Cosmetics:The 6 in. gold Marshall logo, black Levant covering, beading and piping model the look and style of the original.
