The Design
The LS100 is an all tube, 100w amp. Since it has two independent channels (clean and distortion), there is no sacrifice in tone as you change from one channel to the other; making this amp very versatile. Each channel has its own gain, treble, mid, bass, and volume controls and the distortion channel has an additional gain stage accessible by the footswitch. This added stage has its own gain control that works in combination with the distortion channel gain control. The LS100 also has reverb, master volume, presence and a series effects loop.
The LS100 is built on a 16 gage steel powder coated chassis, mounted in a solid birch cabinet with finger joint construction. Point to point wiring, orange drop capacitors and carbon comp resistors combine to make an amplifier that responds to your touch, allowing you to play what you feel.
The Clean Channel captures the highly sought after tone and sparkle of vintage amps.
It’s very warm and punchy.
The Distortion Channel is crunchy and thick without sounding fuzzy. Click in the high gain for another level of distortion and sustain without fuzz. Turn down your guitar volume and it cleans up nicely even on high gain.
The Reverb is tube driven and very lush.
