You are Buying a New RAT Modified V3 Epiphone Valve Junior Head Amplifier - All Valve - Point-2-Point Hand Wired - Converted to 10 Watts Output with Valve Rectifier and RAT 'OPR'.
This Amp has been
'RAT' Hot Rodded
- RAT HRVS - Hot Rod Valve Special -
The Stock Amp has VERY Basic Controls and is a bit of a 'One Trick Pony'.
It's a 'REAL' All Valve Amp - NO Transistors, Chips, Digital Processing or SMT (Surface-Mount Technology).
On the Test Bench the STOCK Amp is Producing 3.5 Watts RMS and about 6 Watts Peak Power into 8 Ohms. The Amp is Wide Open to some Great Modifications - So this is what I have done - - -
- Additional 'RAT' Features -
1. - 'OPR' - Output Power Reduction.
www.ratvalveamps.com/power-scaling-sp-2122600786
'OPR' lets you get a true 'Cranked Amp Sound' at VERY Low Volume Levels - Fat Harmonics - Sustain a Mile Long - the Full Works, but at MUCH Lower Volume. A Rotary Control allows you to Vary the Output Power of the Amp. As you 'Turn Down the Power' - The Volume Drops but the Tone is Maintained. The System is Electronic - NOT a Passive Speaker Attenuator.
2. - The Amp has been Totally Hand Wired using a RAT Glass Fibre Eyelet Board to Hold the Components.
3. - The Output Power of the Amp has been Increased to 10 Watts RMS using 2x EL84 Power Valves and a Fender Blues Junior Output Transformer in 'Push-Pull' - 'Self-Split' - 'Auto-Bias' Configuration. There is NO Background 'Hum' or 'Buzz'. Loads of 'Clean' and Loads of 'Crunch' Available.
4. - The Stock Amp uses a 'Silicon' Rectifier. This has been Changed to a Valve Rectifier. There is no 'Standby' Switch fitted to the Amp as this is not required with a Valve Rectifier. The Valve is an NOS EI 'EZ80'.
5. - 'Drive' and 'Master' Volume Controls - Allows Preamp Overdrive -or- Power Amp Overdrive -or- Both.
6. - 'Bright' Switch and 'Tone' Control.
7. - '3x Bias' -and- '3x Gain' Switches.
