Tucana 75W KT88 Amplifier Model

Welcome to pure tone heaven ++ !!

The Tucana is an incredibly flexible 2 + 1 Channel amp. What does 2 + 1 mean ? Well it's got a clean channel, an OD channel and extra OD gain boost with separate master volume.

Tonally these amps are like an OD-2 on steroids. The tonal palette is certainly the widest of any of our amps. With the boost channel, they can stray into gain levels only heard on the 'Hot' version of the OD-2, yet still retain full note definition and separation even with complex chord passages at high gain levels. On the other extreme, the OD channel

The power amp section runs the KT88s at a moderate 75W ensuring very long tube life. The transformer set has been designed to retain a ton of warmth, coupled with slightly less filtering than the OD-2, makes this amp very easy to play with a softer percussive feel to note attack.

The Tucana is very forgiving on cabinet choice and works well with many speaker / cab combinations
