This is the first amp of its type ever built by Vintage Sound Amps and stands alone in its class for tone!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThe best was we can think to describe the circuit is to break it up in three parts.  The first channel, the second channel, and the vibrato\/reverb section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e1) The first channel on the amplifier is a custom circuit developed by Vintage Sound that falls in between their Mild-High Gain and Brownface circuits used on some of their other amps. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e2) The second channel (main channel) is inspired by the Black Face AB763 circuit with modifications unique to Vintage Sound (more on that below). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003e3) The vibrato section is a modified tube vibrato inspired by the early 60’s Brown Face circuitry.  It does not use the photo-cell vibrato you see in blackface amps, but rather the smooth tube driven vibrato, similar to the Princeton Reverb, Vibroverb, and Vibrolux. Big bonus!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eSo essentially, you get the best of both worlds — Black Face inspired circuit, true tube driven vibrato, and a modified custom circuit. Both channels have reverb and vibrato effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eSince the Brent Mason Signature 45 is in a smaller chassis than you normally see in an AB763 circuit, the faceplate is also smaller leaving no room for the Normal\/Bright switches. To address this Vintage Sound uses a high-end push\/pull pot for the Volume control. By default it uses Normal voicing, and when pulled it engages the Bright voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThere's a nifty Reverb Dwell control on the rear of the chassis. It comes in quite handy for adjusting the amount of decay the reverb has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eExternal bias points are also included for re-biasing the output tubes after changing them. VERY handy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #112244;\"\u003eThe Brent Mason Signature Series combo amp includes the custom padded cover and the black two-button foot switch. For the full Brent Mason experience in tone and versatility, add the optional 2x10 extension cab. This cabinet also comes with a custom padded cover.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana; color: #339966;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWattage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 watts\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 12AX7, 2 X 12AT7 (All TAD Tube Amp Doctor)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePower Tubes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 6L6 \u003cspan\u003eTAD Tube Amp Doctor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRectifier Tube:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5AR4 \u003cspan\u003eTAD Tube Amp Doctor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFront Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Channel 1: \u003cspan\u003eNormal\/Bright Push\/Pull Volume\u003c\/span\u003e, Treble, Bass\u003cbr\u003e Channel 2: \u003cspan\u003eNormal\/Bright Push\/Pull Volume\u003c\/span\u003e, Treble, Middle, Bass, Reverb, Speed, Intensity\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRear Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dwell (Very cool custom feature for controlling the reverb decay time!)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEffects:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tube Driven Spring Reverb, True Tube Vibrato, Both Channels\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSpeakers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 10\" WGS Green Beret\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 per channel (hi\/lo)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAuxiliary Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e RCA Footswitch Jack\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExtension Speaker Jack:\u003c\/strong\u003e External Speaker Jack\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Point-to-Point, Hand-wired\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCabinet Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dove-tail jointed solid pine w\/Baltic Birch Plywood baffle and back panels\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePilot Light:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Amp Jewel\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCombo Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5\" High x 24.5\" Wide x 10 1\/2\" Deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 47 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan color=\"#112244\" face=\"Verdana\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Button Footswitch, Padded Cover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Sound","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31351773167662,"sku":"VSBM210BKSIL","price":2995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4003\/products\/vintage-sound-brent_Mason.jpg?v=1541526133","url":"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/products\/vintage-sound-brent-mason-signature-45","provider":"Humbucker Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
