- Page 3 Many amps from the 1950s also have very little clean headroom. Through careful tuning and listening to musicians, the Texas Tone 12 allows the guitarist to get that sweet and creamy tube crunch without splitting your eardrums, and yet still have enough headroom to play those clean fills.
- Page 4 3. EQ (Tone): The “EQ” Tone control on the Texas Tone 12 offers less interaction with the volume control than a typical vintage amplifier tone control circuit. It’s subtle, and yet offers a wide range of tone control.
- Page 5 4. RUN (Standby) switch: The RUN switch controls the high voltage to the tubes of the Texas Tone 12. This switch may also be used to quiet the amplifier for short periods of time.
- Page 6 The 6V6 tubes used in the Texas Tone 12 produce a creamy sound with nice distortion. Some tubes are available in matched sets. These tubes have been extensively tested for optimum performance and longevity.
- Page 7 The driver tube determines the shape and amplitude of the signal applied to the power tubes and has to work almost as hard as the power tubes. NOTE: The driver tube in the Texas Tone 12™ is a special design GE 7247 (12DW7/ECC832) type, and also controls the tremolo circuit. Replacing this tube with a 12AT7 or 12AU7 type tube will result in a loss of tremolo effect.
- Page 8 17-1/8” H x 21” W x 9-1/2” D, 28 lbs. Size and Weight The Texas Tone 12 is covered with a durable Tolex material: wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth. Never spray cleaning agents onto the cabinet. Avoid abrasive cleansers which would damage the finish.
