The amp in the picture is Bluetone Crossroad Head. It is a true three channel point-to-point tube amplifier with three individual preamp channels which can be selected with a footswitch. Clean channel is similar with Bluetone Dusty Road and is based on Fender Deluxe/Twin world. Crunch channel is similar to Dusty Road and is based on Marshall JCM800/2204 world with improvements and modifications. Lead channel is based on  Soldano SLO100 with my own modifications. It gives tons of distortion from old school sounds to modern heavy sounds.  All preamp channels use ECC83/12AX7 tubes.

This amp has also a buffered tube effect loop with Send level and footswitch. Loop works also with floor effect pedals.

 Power amp is based on Marshall/Soldano world giving some 20-60 W output power depending on power tubes. It can be equipped with any octal tubes like 6V6GT, EL34, 6L6GC, KT66, KT88 etc. There is an outside bias point which makes power tube changes easy especially when using Bluetone Bias Rate meter. This amp can be equipped with a, PPIMV (Post Phase Inverter Master Volume), VVR (Dynamic output power control) etc. 

 Customized combinations

Bluetone Crossroad has a modular technical structure which gives possibilities to create different preamp and power amp combinations. Amp could consist one Vox world module, one Fender world module and one Marshall world module in preamp section. Power amp can also be built with 4xEL84 tubes, 4x6V6GT tubes etc.
