Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
When we first plugged into the Torque we were blown over the moon! Who'd expect an amp with such a simplistic control scheme would have so much tonal variety? With an adjustable fixed bias scheme and switching on the gain and response, you're guaranteed to find a sound to fall in love with.
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
The second design from At Mars is the Torque Amplifier. This circuit utilizes an adjustable fixed bias scheme. It has a tube and control configuration that is similar to The Specialist, but is fixed bias and uses different phase inverter. This amp has a stiffer response with more punch. The Torque Amplifier is touch sensitive like The Specialist, but slightly louder and more powerful with a different feel. Dirty/Rude switch and Tight/Loose switch add variation in gain and response. Both switches are stock on the Torque. This amp has the same base price as the The Specialist.
