Born from the Del Fuego, our amazingly popular 18watt, Class A, 2 channel fire-breather, the Positron takes all the best parts of a Del Fuego and wraps them in a smaller, more portable and very cost effective package that anyone can throw over their shoulder and have their tone to go. The Positron is exactly as the name implies ‰ÛÒ extremely small and positively charged (to say the least).
The Positron is a quality, hand-built amplifier in the time-honored tradition of a famous and sought-after early 1960‰۪s British model. It delivers revered vintage-type distortion without the ‰ÛÏdomestic havoc‰ and it is lightweight enough to save your back while still having the power to be gigable even in combination with 2 4x12‰۪s. Each Positron is hand wired on a hand-built fiberglass eyelet board using components selected for reliability and superior sonic character. Simple enough to use for even your drummer, the Positron features one channel, with only a Volume and Tone knob to contend with. The Positron uses three 12AX7, two EL84 power tubes, and a solid-state rectifier.
This amp is hand wired, Class A at it‰۪s finest. True tube, true Class A, true clean/blues/vintage breakup, true Texas. The Positron is redefining vintage yet again.
