The all-tube, single-ended circuit design is composed of a proven 12AX7 (ECC83) in the preamp while the output stage is equipped with both a 6V6 and an EZ81 rectifier tube. The FAB 5 is especially well suited for Blues and Rock sounds. The single-ended circuitry typically produces natural distortion and direct, lively response. The amplifier also features an integrated power soak, this allows you to play at lower, “bedroom” volume levels while still being able to take full advantage of the warm, powerful sounds delivered by the all-tube circuitry.
Additionally, this combo is equipped with a second speaker output, allowing for the connection of external speakers as well as a boost function that can be activated using an optionally available foot switch (when no foot switch is connected, the boost function is active and can be controlled using the corresponding boost knob).
