MAGICIAN INFINIUM
Boutique-Style 85-Watt 3-Channel Valve Combo with INFINIUM Valve Life
Multiplier, Multi-Class A/AB Operation and VARIPOWER
The supernatural power of the 85-Watt
MAGICIAN INFINIUM is built to satisfy even the
most discerning tone chaser. Its unbelievable
array of tonal options will take you on a tonal
tour of the greatest amplifier personalities
to ever emerge from California. With three
channels, multiple class modes (Class-A or
combined Class A/AB), Varipower (adjustable
output power from 1 - 85 Watts), switchable
triode/pentode operation, a multitude of EQ
controls, and our incredible INFINIUM Valve
Life Multiplier technology, the MAGICIAN is like
having a truckload of neo-vintage amps—all in
one!
Variable Voodoo
It all starts with a three-channel
preamp design (Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2, Lead)
featuring 4 x 12AX7 valves, producing
everything from vintage clean to killer crunch.
On the back panel, flick a switch to select
PENTODE for a clear, powerful punch or TRIODE
for a classic, mellow sound. Next, select either
CLASS A mode for a bright, chiming tone that
pushes easily into overdrive, or MULTI-CLASS
mode to combine the Class A sound with the
tight, punchy tone of Class AB amplifiers.
What is Varipower?
There's nothing like the roaring
"soft-clip" sound of saturated power valves,
but these tones are normally accessible
only when an amp's volume is cranked.
Unfortunately, this kind of volume isn't an
option when you're jamming away in your
apartment at 3:00 am, or if you're gigging in a
tiny club. That's why the MAGICIAN features
the Varipower rotary control, which adjusts
output power anywhere from 1 to 85 Watts.
Whether you're trying to record a searing
solo without waking the neighbors, or
blowing the roof off the biggest gig of your
life, the MAGICIAN is always ready to provide
the sound of overdriven valve fury.
