Bluetone Fried Eye, Combo 25w

Bluetone Fried Eye is a true 2 channel full tube amplifier containing a bunch of our innovations. It has a world class Marshallish crunch channel, a proven Fender black face world clean channel, own ppimv master volumes for each channel and 2+2 power amp with individual power tubes for each channel or a 25 W power amp as an alternative. In 2+2 version power tubes will change automatically when preamp channel is switched.

Clean-channel is based on modded Fender Twin/Deluxe-world. This very same preamp channel you also find in Bluetone Dusty Road. This channel contains Volume, Low-/High-switch, Bright-switch, Treble, Middle ja Bass controls. Clean channel is very warm sounding producing Fenderish clean sound palette. With it`s own ppimv master volume, you can drive also this channel into heavy distortion when needed. High-Low-switch is useful when playing with humbucer pick ups and trying to keep sound as clean as possible.

Crunch-channel is based on heavily modded Marshall-world. It contains Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass and Master-knobs and a Boost-switch, which adds more distortion. Moreover there are also Bite and Fat switches, which are helpful when tailoring different sounds. With all these possibilitites, this channel goes from shimmering cleans to heavily distorted EVH style lead sounds.

The 25 W cathode biased power amp has two power tubes, which are common to both preamp channels. You can use EL34, 6L6GC, 5881 and KT66 power tubes. Power tubes do not need biasing when changing them.

All preamp stages and effect loop use 12AX7/ECC83 tubes. Power supply rectifier has been done with diodes. This amp has a built in buffered effects loop, which can also be used as a clean boost when there are no effects connected.

You can have a built in OPC (Output Power Control), which is a variac type solution (adjusts tubes voltages and output power) as an extra feature. OPC does not alter amp sound and power supply behaviour like VVR.

This amp is available as a head or a combo model. It can be covered with normal tolex, laquered tweed or with oiled hardwood cabinet.
