These new amps are designed to please
the more demanding guitarist who loves
the no nonsense “all about tone”
approach to guitar amplification. The
design is based on a single-Ended
all-tube low-powered amplifier operating
at 100% Class-A. Using as less
components as possible, Dolf Koch has
created pure tube-tone monsters which
sound very dynamic and are very
responsive to your playing and the type
of guitar you use.
The Classic SE series consists of two
models, the C-SE6 (6 Watt) and the
C-SE12 (12 Watt), both available as
combo or as head version. We offer the
Classic SE series with four different
tube types. Each tube type has its own
distinctive sound character.
The C-SE6 (6Watt) is available with:
° EL84, With this tube you will get tons
of rock and roll crunch at your disposal.
Turning back your volume will
clean the sound up nicely. The amp will
deliver deep bass, bell-like highs and a
clear midrange.
° 6V6, choose this version when you love
a cleaner twangy type of tone with a
mellow and open character.
Turning up the gain will bring you nice
crunch sounds up to a screaming but very
controllable distortion.
The C-SE12 (12Watt) is available with:
° 5881, these tubes will deliver (tube)
tone as it was meant to be. Ranging from
warm, almost "piano-like"
lows up to crystal clean highs the sound
will astound you. Turning up the volume
will give you a fat but
articulate overdrive.
° EL34, Here you are talking about a
firm but controlled low end with smooth
mids and a silky top end. Turning
up the gain will give you a singing
sustain with a modest compression
The built-in auto-bias circuit enables
you to exchange various tube types
without the need to rebias the amp. With
the Classic-SE you can keep on creating
new sounds very fast utilizing the
single Tone control in combination with
the three voicing switches (Mid-boost,
Basscut and Gain-boost) and with the
Gain and Volume control. The Mid-boost
will give you extra definition and the
Bass-cut will keep the low-end tight at
higher distortion levels. By turning up
the Gain and adding Gain-boost you can
create a more saturated sound which will
get richer the more you turn up the
Volume control. As most guitarists love
to record their own inspiring tonal
paintings we have added a recording
output with built-in speaker simulation
for the best results. The speaker on/off
switch with speaker load enables you to
turn off the speaker for silent
recording. For even more flexibility
there is a line input for connecting an
external preamp such as the Koch
Pedaltone. Last but definitely not least
you can use both models in two power
modes. The Standby switch has three
positions: Standby, Full-power and
Low-power. In the Lowpower mode the amp
delivers only 1/3 of its nominal output
power (Full-power mode), enabling you to
create full power amp distortion at a
lower volume level. Playing the first
notes on either of these amps will
dazzle you’re creative brain and forge
you to continue playing whether you are
at home, in the studio or on stage. |
