Big stereo 2x12 hybrid combo: a valve preamp stage into solid-state power, roughly 80 watts a side into two Celestion G12Ts. Two channels each with a boost switch give clean, crunch and two grades of overdrive - bright and slightly brittle compared with an all-valve Marshall - plus a lush stereo chorus that was the point of the Bi-Chorus name.
