Kool Amplification - 1984Ever heard of the Brown Sound?!When in the late 70’s a Dutch-born guitar prodigy erupted plexi fuelled flames into the world, I was only 6 years old, having no clue at all of the event of rock being changed forever. My first memory about this revolution was kids talking about this Dutch born guitar hero who was able to produce animal noises with his guitar and I thought: Wow is that really true?! And he’s Dutch!! It has always stuck with me somehow, it must have been around 1984…A few years later, about half a year before Holland won the European championship football in 1988, some neighborhood kids introduced me to this insane guitar solo from 1978. I was totally blown away by it, listening to it over and over again and it eventually turned out to be one of the main triggers for me to pick up the electric guitar.Like countless fellow guitar players around the globe I have been pursuing that magical tone my entire musical life and at some point it became obvious I had to make this 1984 amp become reality.The 1984 is more than just another plexi inspired tube amp, it is in fact a time machine. Fair warning: once you turn it on it is impossible to turn it off!Enjoy the Gr80's...Aryjan KoolMain Features:2 independent channelsChannel 1-Mode 1 = 'Mild', Channel 1-Mode 2 = 'Hot'Channel 2 = 'Plexi Overdrive'SVC Volume boost (boosts channel 1 and 2)SVC - Seamless Volume Control: from 0,1 watt 'bed room' levels to 50 watt 'Rock Arena' levels (no tone loss at low volumes, no need for power-soak)Ultra wide gain range control on both channels for ultimate gain versatilityTrue bypass effects loopFootswitch (channel, effects loop, volume )Outputs 4, 8, 16 Ohm or 2x16, 2x8 Ohm50 Watt Specification:Output: 50 Watts R.M.S.OVERTONES transformers, custom made in BRITAIN2 x TAD Premium EL34B-STR power tubes4 x pre-amp tubes:3 x 12AX7 mix of Tung-Sol, Svetlana, Sovtek LPS1 x 12AU7 TAD (effects loop)Outputs 4, 8, 16 Ohm or 2x16, 2x8 OhmHead weight: approx. 16 kgCombo weight: 21,3 kgHandsoldered / handwired in the Netherlands by Kool AmplificationFinish & Construction:Handmade A to Z bij Kool Amplificationdimensions head: H=25 cm W=51 cm D=25 cmdimensions combo: H=52 cm W=51 cm D=25 cm13 ply lightplexKool corner constructionTolex: 'Black Rose'
