Ultralinear master volume for both channels
Global 3-band tonestack
Front channel switch
Blues/rock machine
20w of US blues-rock sounds. 2 channels, 6L6 20w power section, tube effect loop.
The first channel is a blackface inspired clean channel. Hot and bright, it has a bright cap for extra definition even a low gain settings. Perfect for arpeggios or cleaner blues solo a la BB King with its punchy bass response.
The second channel is reminiscent of the clean channel, but with more gain, and a slightly warmer sound, this channel has no bright cap on it. Ideal for playing blues solo like SRV, but also sounds very good for more contemporary pop rhythm guitars.
The EQ is very effective at fine tuning your sound and is shared between the two channels.
Features
Quiet play
The Dr.Blues uses the special “ultralinear master volume” technology, introduced by the Fxamps amplifiers, designed to play at any level, even at very low level at night. It even has a 20w/2w for the most quiet conditions.
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.
Big tubes
Were other amps uses cheaper EL84 tubes to get 20w, all ACE models 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!

Fantastic Amp!
It sounds wonderful with both my guitars, be it with single coil or humbucker pickups. With single coils, I find it brighter, crispy (but not cold), and articulation is very very expressive. With humbuckers, it is rounder and somewhat darker (both are definitely to be expected, as this is definitely the nature of the pickups) but still very articulate, and has great thick, warm and creamy tone! You can get this amp to both bite and sparkle or be very smooth. It just works beautifully with both types of pickups. Icing on the cake: it also plays extremely well with pedals – so far everything I’ve thrown at it (wah, fuzz, overdrive (lower and higher gain), delay and reverb) has been handled perfectly and I have been super satisfied every time. And finally, not only does it sound amazing, but it also looks great. I am definitely super happy with my purchase.

Possédant déjà un Colt et un Classic Plex, il me manquait la touche Californienne. et bien c’est chose faite! Petite merveille que ce Dr Blues, un son clair très articulé, très “touch sensitive” et très chaud, on retrouve bien le côté “creusé” des balckface mais on peut le sortir du mix grâce au réglage des mediums très réactif. Une petite reverb, une OD, et c’est le paradis.
Le canal “Drive” est lui typiquement tweed, avec au contraire les mediums bien en avant, on garde l’articulation et la sensibilité du jeu comme sur le cana clair, d’ailleurs on peut obtenir un très bon son clair aussi avec ce canal, et on retrouve le côté “fuzz” dès qu’on pousse un peu le gain, du gras qui s’éclairci si on baisse le réglage des basses.
Bref, un petit bijou de conception, de son, et de finition dans mon cas (combo). Je ne peux que le recommander pour tout ce qui est blues, country, jazz, et même rock, avec les od qui vont bien.
