Suhr Badger 18 MK1 Valve Head  w- Padded Cover ( Pre Owned )

This 18-watt, all-tube amplifier offers a wide range of classic guitar sounds. Driven by a cathode biased EL-84 power section and features a 5Y3GT tube rectifier, the
Badger 18 delivers a variety of warm, sparkling cleans and rich, dynamic overdrive tones.
Whether playing a large stage, small club or your home studio, Badger’s Power Scaling feature provides added flexibility. This makes it easy to dial in your ideal tone at
any volume - from loud and cranked, all the way down to one watt.

Power: Power Scaling emulates the tonal response of a high wattage
amp on 10, at manageable volumes. Power controls the voltage
that feeds the output section and in turn, the wattage. As you
lower the voltage of the power section you are reducing the
amount of signal it can handle before clipping the output section.
To compensate for this we use the "Drive" control so you can
easily scale down to 1 watt without losing tone & feel.

Tone controls: Bass, Middle and Treble tone controls for each channel are postgain and passive cut-style. We recommend starting around 5
and dialing to taste. As you increase Gain and/or Drive we
recommend dialing back the Bass to retain clarity and definition
in the low-end.

Gain: Controls the amount of preamp gain by controlling 2 cascading
gain stages simultaneously to drive the input stage.

Drive: Feeds the input to the power section. With Power at 10 it acts as a
master volume. As a rule of thumb, when you turn down the Power
always set the Drive control within 2 numbers of the Power setting. If
you set the drive lower than the power it will sound brighter, like a
"master volume" amp. 

Note: Keeping the Drive within 2 numbers of the Power setting will
retain the natural amp overdrive characteristics all the way down to 1
watt.

WARNING: Setting the Drive control more than 2 numbers higher than
the Power setting will cause the output section to clip beyond what is
typical and may produce artifacts and compression that the user may
or may not find appealing.
