Amalgam Audio FNDR BFSR 1965 NAM Core DI

This 50W class AB 6L6 based circuit is the amp that has defined what is most associated with "american tone". It is best known for its legendary sparkly and slightly scooped tone, which is instantly recognizable and also works really well with pedals. It gets a nice break-up without the help of pedals and it sounds brighter and a bit scooped compared to the "british tone" camp.

This particular unit is almost 100% original with the exception that 2 of the power supply filtering caps have been replaced. The previous owner had rehoused it into a head, which makes it all the more practical for us.

It has been used by an endless list of artists, some notable names of which would be: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mike Bloomfied, BB King, Muddy Waters, Robben Ford, Philip Sayce, Dereck Trucks, Ronnie Earl.

The capture set features captures of the Vibrato and Normal channel. The vibrato channel has a mid control and an additional gain stage due to the reverb recovery stage and the normal channel is bigger/fatter sounding.

The Core DI capture set includes 30 DI captures of the Vibrato and Normal channel consisting of 6 gain ranges (clean, edge, crunch, dimed, drive, lead) and 3 EQ settings per gain range (bright, balanced, warm). Included are 4 custom IR'sand the following pedals for the drive and lead gain levels: BSB (Bluesbreaker MKI), 808 (Ibanez TS808), PAG (Kingsley Page), MIN (Kingsley Minstrel).
