The Polaris

The Polaris is an all-original design, the bigger sibling of the Quantum Zen, but designed from the ground up to give you the most musical EL34 powered amp you have ever heard

Features 2 x EL34 power tubes for 1 to 30 watts

Instead of the EF86 pentode as in the Quantum Zen, the Polaris uses an old tube radio trick, wiring a 12AU7 to behave like a pentode, so you get all the increased bandwidth, musical compression, and sweeter harmonics that pentodes are known for

The tuned baffle uses a sapele hardwood ring inset into birch - tuned to make a 1x12 sound HUGE, giving extra texture and push for big grand piano like lows

​Hand selected solid pine cabinet, finger jointed on all sides, including the front panel

If you like tweaking, the Polaris lets you use any 12A_7 type tube in either position in the preamp stage - try a 12AY7 in V1 for some old school tones - It's like having multiple amps in one!

How does is sound?
Imagine big round vintage Tweed tones when clean, yet with a sweeter top end, and the notes ring out longer with more clarity. When driven, it can do the British-like crunch, but despite being fuller and warmer than those vintage designs, you can hear every note even when overdriving complex chords. The baffle design adds more woody character and warmth to the low mids. There's a subtle compression that adds more sustain for a more musical "feel". The cabinet design makes this 1x12 sound as big as a 2x12 or stack.
