Prototypes for sale
MOVING SALE!
It's time to let these go. All of these are made with the same quality and attention to detail as the production version. They may have a couple small differences, tweaks, or cosmetic changes (specifics below), but what a great way to get a handmade top quality amp for amazing prices!
Pulsar Reverb Prototype
This is almost exactly the same as the now discontinued production version of the Pulsar with 2 differences:
1) The cabinet was a prototype design where the baffle is glued into the cabinet, but only at 4 points so that it mimics the resonance of a floating baffle, but also giving the cab more structural rigidity. It sounds different. Not better or worse, just different.
2) The reverb is a transformer-less design. It's different than typical "Fender" style reverbs - it sits more behind the notes, very similar to studio and room reverb.
(Zen) Quasar Head Prototype
This amp was the precursor to the current Quantum Zen. It shares 70% of the same DNA, but with 6V6 output tubes instead! Goes from sweet fat cleans with a tad more chime, to thumping rock with the turn of the volume knob.
Polaris Prototype
This one is almost the same as the current Polaris but with 3 differences:
1) Classic Tone transformers (current ones use custom Soursound)
2) No choke, so it is a little "softer" in feel and low end
3) 15 inch speaker. Big. Just big sounding.
Also note: This one is discounted quite heavily because there was a mistake in the panel cutout - it wasn't deep enough, so the back panel protrudes slightly to compensate. If this doesn't bother you, this is a great way to get such a killer amp for cheap!
Quantum Zen Prototype
The circuit on this one is pretty much identical to the current production model with only one difference - instead of a 2-way voicing switch, this one has a 3-way. The rest is cosmetic: 1) no piping; 2) the chassis was made in-house and has a cherry wood faceplate.
