We are adding our version of the 18 watt TMB amplifier to the Granville line.

I've been playing around with this for awhile, basically looking for the JCM800 tone in the lower power ranges. I'm not a fan of power attenuators, so this seemed like the right path. The final version will likely have solid state rectification which will bring the output closer to 20 watts.

I'm quite pleased with the prototype. It's tough sounding but flexible.
And it records very well!!

Just noticed the isolation mounting on V1 and V2. Attention to detail.

It's not just a good idea, it's the law.
