Gold Digger
Do you want the famous plexi sound, but at manageable levels ? The Gold digger is the one for you. Raw and powerful sound, nice clean and warm crunches.
At lower gain settings, you’ll get the loose and thumping typical hendrix sounds, with just a little bit of breakup. Warm and bright at the same time, ideal with a stratocaster in neck or intermediate position. Add a little bit of delay with modulation, for example with our fantastic sounding Heartbeat delay.
Medium gain settings are in the like of early AC/DC sounds. Little bit tighter and punchier in the bass, but keeping open highs. Slightly aggressive vintage sounding crunches, perfect with a vintage SG or LesPaul guitar, super reactive to your playing and volume pot changes.
Higher gain settings opens to new territories. Think of vintage hard rock sounds. More controlled bass, creamy mediums and an overall aggressive sound. Use it with vintage hot humbuckers for typical hard 80′ sounds and more. If you need even more gain, use our widely acclaimed bi-boost, it will do wonders with the Gold Digger.
Features
True dynamic technology
The Gold Digger introduce the new True dynamic technology. These are exclusive specially designed circuit to improve the response of the amplifer to your right hand playing. The result is a super touch sensitive sound, very reactive to your playing, just like a big stack driven to full blast. So now your Fx amplifier not only provide fantastic sounds even at very low levels, but you’ll also get the true feeling of a pushed 100w amplifier.
Quiet play
The Gold Digger has the special « ultralinear master volume » technology, designed to play at any level, even at very low level at night. That master volume is very progressive, and easy to set even at low level. There is no jump in level like with a typical master volume, and it remains progressive until the end of the course. The amp also has a 20w/2w for the most quiet conditions, with a slight frequency correction in 2w mode to compensate for the bright response of some speakers at low level.
No Bias System
Change your tubes yourself, at home, no equipment needed. Freely choose between 6L6 and EL34 power tubes, you can even mix a 6L6 and an EL34. Procedure is quick, easy, and without risk. This will save you hundreds in maintenance every year, and will allow you to test many tube brands and combinations.
Big tubes
Were other amps uses cheaper EL84 tubes to get 20w, all FX amplifiers uses big EL34 or 6L6 tubes, just like the big 100w stack amps. These big tubes give a more massive sound, with increased bass response, even a low level. BIG TUBES = BIG SOUND!
Smart connections
The head version (and reverse head) features two speaker outputs in parallel, along with a 4/8/16 ohms impedance selector. This allows a variety of possible connections, with one or two cabinets from various impedances.
The combo version offers exactly the same outputs, and the speaker is externally connected (cable included). This allows for multiple smart connections. You can use the internal speaker alone, internal speaker + external cabinet, one external cabinet only, two external cabinets. It also allows the use of an attenuator with internal speaker or external cabinet, and the use of a loadbox for silent recording. Finally you can also use the combo as a cabinet for an external amplifier (In that case, turn off the amplifier section of the combo!!!)
DC tube heating
Heating tubes with DC current is quiter than the usual AC wiring. It takes more time to wire, and it’s a little bit more expensive, but it’s really worth it. Your Fx amplifier is guaranteed to be as quiet as possible.
Big tubes = big sound!
The Gold Digger, as well as all our amplifiers, uses the same big sized tubes as your favorite vintage stacks. It gives better sounding amps, even a low volumes, with a nice amount of bass, and more than enough punch.
