Tungsten Blue Point

The Tungsten Blue Point is a new offering that combines the best elements from late 1950's designs into "the greatest amp that never was".

The amp has two channels (which can be jumped), common Bass, Treble and Presence knobs, and is powered by a trio of custom Mercury Magnetics transformers and loaded with the best vintage spec components available.

It comes with three 12AX7 preamp tubes and will accept GZ34, 5U4 and 5Y3 rectifier tubes and 6V6, 6L6 and 5881 power tubes. This not only allows you to select wattage and power tube tone, but also lets you easily customize the sag and envelope characteristics of the amp to suit your playing style. It puts out 40 watts of pure vacuum tube tone into a pair of 12" British Series Ceramic Weber speakers.

Tonally the Blue Point has a clear distinct voice that shimmers at mid volume. As the settings go up, the amp compresses with shades of Beano and Duane depending on how you work your guitar volume and pick attack.

The Tungsten Blue Point retails for $1,950 in a 2x12" combo.

Due to the hand-built nature of these amps they are available in limited quantities with a current turnaround time of 3-5 weeks.
