Here’s a brief reference guide to the 16 Amp Models in your Spider Valve MkII:
Clean Amber -
Based on the clean channel of the Marshall
®
JCM 900, the first true
modern high gain amp from Marshall
®
. Select Clean Amber to get crisp, amazing clean
tones, great warm jazz tones, and all the high-end shimmer you’ll need with a generous
amount of bottom end.
Clean Blue -
This amp model was developed to emulate those late 60s and early 70s
clean tones. We modeled a 1973 Hiwatt
®
custom 100, then extended the tone control range
and tightened up the low end for that big, ringing sound.
Twang Amber -
This model draws on our analysis of mid 60s Fender
®
amps, in particular
the blackface ’65 Twin Reverb
®
. We wanted that classic, glassy high end tone, with enough
snap and bite for some serious chick’n pick’n. Things don’t get too crunchy until you reach
the top range of the
Drive
knob.
Twang Blue -
There’s nothing like the sound of the classic Fender
®
blackface Deluxe
Reverb
®
, the Holy Grail for many blues, country and roots rockers.
Class A Amber -
Ready, steady....GO! This amp model is based on a Vox
®
AC-30
amplifier with an updated and expanded TBX tone control circuit. We wanted to capture
that early pop rock tone that many British invasion bands are so well known for.
Class A Blue -
There are some great modern amps out today based on the legendary
tones of yesteryear. Here’s our take on the EL84 circuit of a Divided By 13 9/15 Model.
Blues Amber -
This model is inspired by that famous vintage tweed sound we all know
and love. We evaluated a ’53 Fender
®
wide panel Deluxe and this is what we came up with.
Blues Blue -
Blues Blue is based on a Gretsch
®
6156, a 1960 1x10 combo from the days
when rock’n’roll took the blues to a new level. Add some reverb and a slap echo and be-
bop-alu-la!
