\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 L'id\u00e9e \u00e9tait ce vieil id\u00e9al : fabriquer un ampli \u00e0 deux canaux totalement ind\u00e9pendants, mais sans compromis et avec une dynamique maximale sur chacun d'eux.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Donc NON CE N'EST PAS UN PUT... DE BOOG.... !!!\u00a0\u00a0 C'est m\u00eame tout l'inverse.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n
\n\t

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My idea was that old ideal : to build an amp with 2 totally separate channels, but without compromise and maximum dynamics on each one.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 So NO... THIS IS NOT A F..... BOOG... !!!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is quite the opposite.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Le canal Clean tend vers un Fender Blackface plus \u00e9pais et dynamique. Il peut aussi faire saturer l'ampli de puissance pour des sonorit\u00e9s vintage.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Le canal Drive, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ses deux gains en cascade, permet de sculpter une tr\u00e8s grande vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de textures, du crunch jusqu'\u00e0 une saturation quasiment Hi-Gain. Ce circuit de distorsion est extr\u00eamement r\u00e9actif et a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 sp\u00e9cialement et \"cal\u00e9 tr\u00e8s haut\" au plus pr\u00e8s du jeu du guitariste. Comme pour une voiture ou un moto de circuit, il vaut mieux savoir conduire !<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Clean channel tends toward a thicker and more dynamic Fender Blackface. It can also saturate the power amp for vintage tones.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Drive channel, thanks to its two cascading gain controls, allows you to sculpt a wide variety of textures, from crunch to near-hi-gain saturation. This distortion circuit is extremely responsive and was specially developed and tuned very high to closely match the guitarist's playing style. Just like with a car or a track motorcycle, it's best to know how to drive !<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 La Reverb est r\u00e9glable ind\u00e9pendamment sur chaque canal, avec en plus un contr\u00f4le de tonalit\u00e9 qui permet de jouer sur sa couleur, et comme dans la Reverb Unit<\/a>, de lui donner une autre dimension.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 L'ampli a \u00e9t\u00e9 con\u00e7u avec un push pull de KT66, mais il accepte des EL34, KT77, 6550 ou KT88 selon la puissance et la couleur que l'on souhaite.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The reverb can be set on each channel, with an additional tone control that allows you to tweak its color, and like the Reverb Unit<\/a>, push it in another dimension.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The amp was designed with a KT66 push-pull, but it accepts EL34, KT77, 6550, or KT88, depending on the desired power and color.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cette cr\u00e9ation repr\u00e9sente certainement ce que j'ai fait de mieux jusqu'\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent. Des ann\u00e9es d'exp\u00e9rimentation \u00e0 pousser les limites de l'excellence, sur le design, les composants, le savoir faire, et sans aucun compromis. Le meilleur des mondes du vintage \u00e0 la modernit\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ce n'est pas parce que c'est moi qui l'ai fait, mais cet ampli est tout simplement fabuleux ! :o)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This creation certainly represents my best work to date. Years of experimentation pushing the boundaries of excellence in design, components, and craftsmanship, with uncompromised quality choices. The best of all worlds, from vintage to modern.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

It's not because I made it, but this is a trully tremendous amp ! :o)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Je parle souvent de \"VRAI point \u00e0 point\" que je pratique sur tous mes amplis, mais je mets rarement des photos du c\u00e2blage de mes r\u00e9alisations. Le VRAI point \u00e0 point, c'est \u00e7a.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pas de circuit \u00e0 \u0153illets qui porte les composants, un c\u00e2blage au plus direct avec les composants \"en l'air\".\u00a0 Excessivement peu de fabricants ont recours \u00e0 ce type de c\u00e2blage, beaucoup plus compliqu\u00e9 mais sans concession au niveau sonore lorsqu\u2019il est bien fait. Pour le grand public, je crois que seul Matchess l'utilise, mais c'est toujours pour des amplis tr\u00e8s simples et de conception vintage.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Associer des fonctionnalit\u00e9s modernes \u00e0 un c\u00e2blage tr\u00e8s haut de gamme de ce type fait de cet ampli une raret\u00e9 absolue, m\u00ealant le meilleur des deux mondes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I often talk about \"TRUE point to point\" that I use in every amp I build. Here is some TRUE point to point wiring.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No board that holds the components and very direct connections. Extremely few manufacturers use this type of wiring, which is much more complicated but uncompromising in terms of sound, when done well. For the general public, I believe only Matchess uses it, but it's always for very simple vintage-designed amps.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Combining modern features with this type of high-end wiring makes this amp an absolute rarity, blending the best of both worlds.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
