The Producer is a new amp design from 65 Amps that takes the EL34 Power Tube sound we all know and love and created a totally new design that not only allows you to get that great EL34 sound at lower volume but also makes the cleans a little clearer than they are generally known to be. Apparently this new design also means that your power tubes should last a lot longer than usual.
The Producer delivers 28 Watts and incorporates 65amps’ proprietary Master Voltage circuit that allows players to get the classic EL34 distortion and fantastic cleans at human volumes.
“The Producer solves the age-old conundrum of how to make modern tubes deliver classic tube warmth consistently and reliably. We’ve discovered that copying old circuits is more and more dangerous due to the fact that old circuits were designed around tubes that could take the voltage, and modern tubes just can’t. So we’ve come up with our own, unique solution. In fact, we don’t just make modern tubes sound as good as old tubes. We make them sound even better.”
“The Producer runs EL34s in an extremely safe and unconventional way that no off-the-shelf guitar amp transformer can do. So with help from Mercury Magnetics, we’ve come up with a new transformer that that not only makes our EL34s outstandingly reliable, but also produces a really great tone. In fact, our circuit is so loving to those EL34s, we’ve estimated that you won’t have to change your tubes for years to come! No more re-tubing every year and paying for biasing and tune-ups!”
