TopHat Ambassador Series

The Ambassador Series features one-channel with one high and one low input. This single channel features the cherished 60's reverb circuit, with a special EQ design (separates the mid from the treble and bass and allows a vast increase in mid range content), a master volume and both dwell and mix controls, for the reverb section. The dwell and mix controls allow the player to control signal sent, as well as signal returned from the reverb circuit. This classic pre-amp, together with the warmth and sweetness of it's output section, produces the sweetest classic tone and the fullest sounding reverb available.

The Ambassador Series amps have two front panel switches. The first switch is a regular bright switch. This accentuates the high frequencies, especially at lower volume control levels. The effect diminishes as the volume control is turned up. The second switch is labeled "clean-fat," with fat being the normal mode and the clean mode providing a lower gain (cleaner) / higher head room, alternative drive arrangement.

Ambassador 35 Ambassador 50 Ambassador 100:

The Ambassador A-35's unique output section features four 6V6 power tubes running in a Classic Class A circuit. This amp will distort more easily than the 50 and 100 watt versions. The Class A overtones provide a "British" type overdrive when pushed hard. This model wants to rock and roll at higher gain settings yet provides enough clean headroom for smaller clubs.

The Ambassador A-50 is the most recent of the two new models and is part of TopHat's Flagship Series of amplifiers. It's output section utilizes a pair of 6L6's that run in Class A/B with a traditional negative feedback loop. This produces roughly 50 watts and provides both cleaner power and additional headroom. This amp will fill the needs of players in small and medium clubs, providing the additional clarity necessary for Jazz/Country etc...

The Ambassador A-100 is the Dave Hidalgo ( Los Lobos, Latin Playboys, Houndog ) inspired model. This amp produces roughly 100 watts with four 6L6's running in Class A/B as above. This model is designed for duty in the back line of large hall performances. This amp is ideal for pedal users with multi-faceted tonal requirements.

The TopHat Ambassador is available in either the deluxe 2x12" Combo version or the "piggy back" (head type) version with choice of 2x12", 4x12" or 4x10" Special Design Speaker Cabinets.
