Tonal profile

A high-headroom 1970s solid-state 300-watt head: loud, tight and unforgivingly bright with a hard, brittle clipping character when the push/pull boost is engaged - glassy and scooped-sounding clean, and buzzy rather than warm when driven, which is why players usually run dirt pedals into it instead of leaning on its own gain.
