The Texas Tone 12 is designed and built in the tradition of the great combo guitar amps of days gone by. This amp is not a reproduction or remake of any particular iconic or "Holy Grail" tweed amp, but a unique design that offers a dynamic response to the guitarist's touch. With high and low gain inputs, 6V6 push-pull output tube power, and an efficient 12" Eminence speaker, it's loud enough to gig in clubs or coffee houses, quiet enough for studio work, and versatile enough to use as a bedroom amp.

The Gain knob controls the overall sensitivity of the amp, as well as relative volume. The tone control of the Texas Tone 12 is more independent of the Gain control than standard tweed-type tone controls. Sensitive yet subtle, this tone control gives you tonal variety without taking over your sound. The volume control is a post-phase inverter type. Your can develop your preamp gain & harmonics without full volume to the speaker, allowing greater flexibility as a practice amp or for studio use.

Speaking of sound, you want to hear the sound of your playing, your guitar, your amp- not unwanted noise. Towards that end, the Texas Tone 12 uses shielded input cables, and a modified star/bus grounding scheme to eliminate unwanted noise and hum from both internal and external sources. High voltage filtering is increased over traditional tweed-type circuits to provide a lower noise floor and a tighter bass response.

The grid bias tremolo circuit is lush and wide-ranging, not harsh like optical cut-off type tremolo circuits, and can be controlled via the included foot switch. For manual operation, the tremolo circuit is engaged when the foot switch is removed, controllable via the Depth knob, which effectively shuts off the tremolo oscillator when turned down.

The Texas Tone 12 features deep bass response and shimmering highs without being muddy or ice-pick harsh. Break-up is easily controlled via the guitarist's attack on the strings. From clean to dirty, this amp allows you to remain in control of your sound. Jazz, country, blues, or rock, you'll be surprised at the variety of tones you can achieve with this amp.
