Classic American Class A Valve Tone
At the heart of the TV-10 A is a single ended Class A design featuring an ECC83 preamp valve and a 6L6 power valve. This configuration delivers bright, glassy cleans alongside rich, harmonically complex overdrive when pushed.
The distinctive character of a single ended power stage comes from the way it clips, enhancing touch sensitivity and dynamic nuance. When driven hard using the Master Volume, the 6L6 power valve produces natural compression and a hot, expressive lead tone that responds beautifully to playing dynamics.
Clean and Drive Channels with Footswitch Control
The TV-10 A offers a clean channel and a footswitchable drive channel, allowing seamless transitions from sparkling clean tones to crunchy overdrive. This makes it equally suited to articulate rhythm playing and expressive lead work.
A footswitchable reverb adds depth and atmosphere, providing everything from subtle ambience to lush vintage style space.
Authentic Valve Reverb
The built in reverb has been developed through meticulous research and reference to classic valve reverb tanks. The result is a warm, musical reverb that complements the natural tone of the amplifier without overwhelming it, adding character and dimension in a simple and intuitive way.
Emulated Output for Recording and Live Use
An emulated line output is taken after the power amp, allowing you to capture the full tonal character of the Class A power stage and output transformer as they are driven into saturation. This makes it easy to record or connect directly to a mixing desk or recording interface using a stereo TRS jack cable, while retaining authentic valve feel and response.
Built for Pedals and Modern Rigs
A series effects loop allows time based and modulation effects to be placed after the preamp, maintaining clarity and definition. This makes the TV-10 A an excellent platform for pedal based setups.
Vintage Styling with Modern Practicality
Finished in premium vintage inspired styling, the TV-10 A looks right at home alongside classic gear while offering modern features for today’s players. Its compact size makes it ideal for home studios, rehearsals, and smaller venues where true valve tone is still essential.
