To accurately generate correct frequencies when bending strings and using alternate tunings, and to output a rich and sustaining tone with adequate wattage, you have to take a lot into consideration. After months and months of prototyping, Dr. Z feels he has succeeded in designing the perfect amp for the modern pedal steel player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eThe Surgical Steel incorporates Dr. Z's unique EF86 front end. This pentode tube can accept inputs of various voltages, like those from volume pedals, and reproduce them with accurate symmetry without distorting the signal disproportionately as 12AX7 input tubes do. A full balance EQ section inputs a pair of ultra-linear connected KT88 power tubes. These powerful tubes (approximately 90 watts per pair) produce a rich, warm, and thick tone which is not possible with a solid state amp. This amp has 4, 8, and 16 Ohm speaker outs as well as a tube buffered (12DW7) effects loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs \u0026amp; Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003eAll Tube, All Hand-Wired, ALL USA MADE construction\u003cbr\u003e 90 Watts Output \u003cbr\u003e Output Tubes: 2 x KT88\u003cbr\u003e Preamp Tubes: 1 x EF86, 1 x 12DW7, 1 x12AX7\u003cbr\u003e Controls: Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass\u003cbr\u003e Tube Buffered FX Loop,\u003cbr\u003e 4, 8, 16 Ohm Outputs\u003cbr\u003e Dimensions: 19\" Wide x 9.75\" High x 9.5\" Deep -\u003cbr\u003e Weight: 38 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra Stuff:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e Amp too loud?
