Time of talking about amps, two new guitar amps have been released recently and I’d like to take a look. First is Retro-King 45 Watt Combo, a hand-wired guitar amp replica of 1960’s Bluesbreaker 2×12 combo. An aluminum chassis tube amp with 4 inputs and 2 channels, high and low, for classic rock guitar players.
Features 2 matched KT66 power tubes, 3 JJ 12AX7 preamp tubes, 1 GZ34 rectifier tube, Heyboer transformers (original radiospares specs) and allows to select 4, 8 or 16 ohm output. And has an optional negative feedback control adjustable from the stock 27k to 77k feature.
Retro-King 45 Watt Combo seems a very good option, and price is not much expensive for this kind of amp, $1,845 (more if you wan any optional feature).
Second amp is Ashdown Radiator 2 AAR212 Acoustic Amp, an amp designed for live acoustic performances. Based on twin-channel Radiator 2 (AAR2), with its 160W the amp can support the volume levels of a live show.
Featuring an advanced twin channel preamplifier for active inputs and a another channel for mic inputs, the Radiator 2 AAR212 produces a sweet tone with a dual triode vacuum tube.
A very good choice for acoustic shows, but we don’t know anything about the price yet.
