Description

Core blade provides tough tone, untamed dynamic and explosive punch. Of the four channels two are designed as very different high-gain types, ideal for demanding, modern metal varieties. The highly versatile drive channel delivers the classic sounds of the early metal era, and a very clean channel with volume sets itself to the most severe blow in sparkling strings sounds. Boost can be individually switched per channel, and on all channels are three effect modules that can be used simultaneously plus an extremely accurate and musical-working noise gate. Thanks to programmable potentiometers, all settings - 128 - are user-storeable via the included MIDI-Board. These sound settings can even be directly stored on a USB flash drive and can be filled with new sounds by pressing a key. And without modeling - all tube!

TSC provides for maintenance free operation, it's the built-in vacuum tube technology. It provides dependable operation of the automatic bias adjustment for long life, the emergency shutdown of defective tubes for uninterrupted gigs, as well as displaying the characteristics of the tubes for easy selection. TSC even allows the simultaneous operation of EL34 and 6L6GCs!

Core Blade is the most advanced tube amp that you can buy today - at least on planet Earth.
