HOTBOX
The Hotbox Classic is an active
two channel tube preamp driven by two 12AX7 tubes. It is point
to point, hand-wired in classic Matchless fashion and housed
in a heavy duty, polished stainless steel enclosure complete
with our signature back-lit logo and control panel. It uses the
same top quality components as the Matchless amps down to the
custom hand-wound transformer.
Channel one is clean and crisp
but is also capable of producing an overdriven sound. Channel
two features gain, bass, treble, and output-level knobs. Similar
to the EQ circuit of the C-30 series, the bass and treble controls
are highly touch responsive. Surprisingly, channel two can
be eq’d to be rich and robust.
The Hotbox Classic can also be used directly into mixing consoles
and is ideal for recording.
An overall, excellent compliment for
any amplifier whether it’s
solid state or tube. The Hotbox Classic will level the playing
field. |
