Ampeg's
Super Jet
July
12, 1996
Coming on the heels of the highly successful Ampeg Jet reissue, the Super Jet
promises to establish its prominent position among the "Tone Kings" of its time.
Using two EL34 power tubes, the amp screams 50 watts of uncommonly rich tone,
over 3 times the power of its little brother. It utilizes a tailored 12" American
made speaker with customized cone and a Kapton voice coil former to enhance the
desired nuances of the amplifier. The tremelo model (SJ-12T) tone controls include
Volume, Tone, Tremelo Speed, Tremelo Intensity, and Reverb Dimension. The footswitch
accesses both the Reverb and Tremelo. The reverb model (SJ-12R) features Volume,
Bass, Midrange, and Bass as well as Ampeg's historic Reverb. The footswitch accesses
the reverb and controls a Gain Boost function that takes the amp from clean with
tons of headroom to the outer limits of distortion. For more information, visit their web site at www.ampeg.com. |
