1) About the King Kong amplifier
Our British series of amplifiers has been overwhelmingly popular, and is still the backbone of our amplifier line. A few years
ago, we expanded our British series with the HRP series of versatile, yet classically voiced amplifiers. We are now proud to
release the flagship of the British and HRP series - the King Kong. This project has been about 5 years in the making and
involved countless man-hours to achieve what we perceive as total sonic perfection.
King Kong is a fully independent, 2 channel head with unbelievable flexibility with uncompromising tone and performance.
Channel 2 draws on the Jose-inspired high gain circuits made famous by other builders. We've spent the last few years
tirelessly perfecting this circuit, and the result is the most accurate recreation of one of the most storied modern amplifiers.
Channel 1 is a slightly revoiced Super Lead preamp to allow both fantastic clean and crunch sounds. Both channels feature
our "ERA" controls and various voicing options. We've included features like a passive FX loop, bias jacks and external
adjustment, pentode/triode switching, and DC regulated preamp tube filaments for lowest noise floor possible.
Most of all, we hope the "King" becomes an integral part of your tone equation to exhilarate your playing and music.
Rock on!

Here, we hope to explain how best to use your new amp.
