Bluetone Black Face is a single-channel full tube amp, which is largely based on the Fender wiring to the old point-to-point blackface amp models (Deluxe, Pro, Super, Twin). This amplifier is a kind of “mix” of all the mentioned Fender amp models, but it also includes own Bluetone innovations without ruining the original legendary sound. The basic idea is to get all the F-world sounds from blues to cleans using one amp and still to have very simple controls.

 

Amp’s power stage designed so that it can take all common octal-socket power tubes like 6V6GT, 6L6GC, EL34, KT66, etc. as long as they are biased to match the amp. In this case, the amplifier output varies between about 20-40 W, depending on the tubes used.
