RECTIFIER的介绍如下:This patented switchable feature allows you to select between two different types of rectifiers for different sounds and feel. It first appeared on the Dual Rectifier Solo Head and is, in fact, part of the magic behind the whole Dual Rectifier series of amplifiers. It has since found its way into some of our other products as well, such as the Maverick, Heartbreaker and the Blue Angel. Voodoo and versatility have been added to these products by the inclusion of this cool, patented feature.
SOLID STATE: (Hi Power) calls up the silicone diode rectifiers which offer more punch, a tighter attack with added brightness and substantially more headroom. This would be the preferred position for loud clean playing or tight rhythmic playing with a high front end GAIN setting.
VACUUM TUBE: (Normal) position takes a power section walk down memory lane, paying tribute to those vintage gems of yesteryear. In those early days of amplification, the only rectifiers available were tubes. Unbeknownst to their creators, these sweet sounding amplifiers would someday become relics as the demand for higher volumes and more power per package led to the abandonment of the tube rectifier in favor of the five cent silicone diode’s greater efficiency. With this decision went much of the sweetness and soul, and by the late 60’s, most amps were bold, loud, and efficient, and unfortunately...sometimes lacking some of that earlier soul.
We wanted the Dual Rectifier series to capture that... “thing” that you... “can’t quite put your finger on...but you know it when it’s got it.” Soul, Personality and Feel. The VACUUM TUBE position gives you a sweetness of sound and a liquid feel that simply cannot be duplicated in any other way. This position shines for single note lead work in Channels 2 and 3 and delivers a warm, breathing sound in the RAW and VINTAGE modes that was previously unavailable in all but the best vintage amps.
If you are like most of the players we know, you’ll probably end up leaving your Rectifier Solo Head, Dual or Triple, set to the VACUUM TUBE position all the time. Regardless of your preference the RECTIFIER SELECT feature gives you options that you won’t find anywhere else.
NOTE: On the Dual Solo Head it is possible to run two 6L6 or EL34 tubes pulling the two center tubes, leaving far left and far right tubes intact. This procedure reduces the power by approximately 50%. Remove one of the Rectifier tubes if you are using the TUBE RECTIFIER setting to assure a correct match. |
