Rock machine
The Brit 20 is the simplest rock machine. Inspired by the famous JCM sounds from the best rock/hard rock era, the Brit 20 will cover all your rock needs. Capable of producing clean sounds to the famous lead heard on so many records.
More versatile than it looks, you can cover a wide range of sounds with its various switch. Switch the bright ON, lower the gain, and you can play some Jimmy’s sounds. Switch the bright OFF, and the amp is now a great pedal platform for all your boost/drive/fuzz pedals.
Push the gain and the amps goes into Iron Maiden territory. Push the input with a boost and you can even play some seriously heavy metal!
Want an easy to use but still versatile amp, built with no compromise but still affordable? Look no further, the Brit 20 is right here for you!
Features
Quiet play
The Brit 20 has the special « ultralinear master volume » technology, designed to play at any level, even at very low level at night. That master volume is very progressive, and easy to set even at low level. There is no jump in level like with a typical master volume, and it remains progressive until the end of the course. The amp also has a 20w/2w for the most quiet conditions, with a slight frequency correction in 2w mode to compensate for the bright response of some speakers at low level.
No Bias System
Change your tubes yourself, at home, no equipment needed. Freely choose between 6L6 and EL34 power tubes, you can even mix a 6L6 and an EL34. Procedure is quick, easy, and without risk. This will save you hundreds in maintenance every year, and will allow you to test many tube brands and combinations.
Big tubes
Were other amps uses cheaper EL84 tubes to get 20w, all FX amplifiers uses big EL34 or 6L6 tubes, just like the big 100w stack amps. These big tubes give a more massive sound, with increased bass response, even a low level. BIG TUBES = BIG SOUND!
Smart connections
The head version (and reverse head) features two speaker outputs in parallel, along with a 4/8/16 ohms impedance selector. This allows a variety of possible connections, with one or two cabinets from various impedances.
The combo version offers exactly the same outputs, and the speaker is externally connected (cable included). This allows for multiple smart connections. You can use the internal speaker alone, internal speaker + external cabinet, one external cabinet only, two external cabinets. It also allows the use of an attenuator with internal speaker or external cabinet, and the use of a loadbox for silent recording. Finally you can also use the combo as a cabinet for an external amplifier (In that case, turn off the amplifier section of the combo!!!)
DC tube heating
Heating tubes with DC current is quiter than the usual AC wiring. It takes more time to wire, and it’s a little bit more expensive, but it’s really worth it. Your Fx amplifier is guaranteed to be as quiet as possible.
