The perfect combination – your
digital modeling pre-amp + a PowerLite 50-10 guitar amp.
- If you already own a modeling pre-amp that gives you all the
guitar sounds you need, why buy a conventional, or digital modeling,
guitar amplifier, when you could use your pre-amp and a PowerLite
power amp?
The PowerLite amp is a ‘back end’ power amp and loudspeaker
designed to be combined with the players choice of ‘front
end’, digital or analogue, modeling/emulating pre-amps.
PowerLite features –
Light weight – 22 Lbs 10 Kgs (approx)
At least 30% lighter than any other roughly equivalent amplifier
on the market.
Small size – 41 H (inc. feet) by 31 W
by 31 D cm
Easy to carry – Large, comfortable, carrying
handle, mounted over the centre of gravity
Power rating - Fitted with a 50 Watt R.M.S.
solid state amplifier.
(The power amp is very clean and quiet. Emulation of ‘valve’
guitar amplifier tone is left entirely to the pre-amp used)
Full Audio Range Flexibility – Suitable
for a wide range of musical styles (determined by the pre-amp
used). With the right pre-amp the PowerLite 50-10 can be used
as an acoustic guitar amp.
Kit format – Available as a flat pack
kit or assembled to order at an extra charge. Assembly requires
basic manual skills, a No. 2 Philips screwdriver and some glue.
Assembly time is estimated at roughly two days work. Constructed
from ‘audio grade’ 12mm birch 9 ply, screwed and glued,
with 20mm pine braces. The 50W power amp is provided as a complete
working module.
Drivers – Supplied fitted with a 10 inch
Eminence Legend 105A main driver and a CTS tweeter. OR as an option,
customers may choose and fit their own main driver and buy the
PowerLite kit at a lower price. Eminence drivers are used by many
of the top US guitar amp makers. Rather than use a ‘flat
response’ neutral, driver we have chosen to use a ‘musical
instrument’ speaker for its efficiency, fast transient response
and sympathetic colouration (loudspeakers make the best loudspeaker
emulators!).
Optional ‘Soundlight’ system –
Twin ‘power on’ lights, modulated by the audio signal.
