From Black Lion Audio

The B12A MKII 500 packs the same punch as its 1⁄2 rack cousin, but in the convenient and flexible 500 series format. The API®-style design features a delicious Cinemag input transformer, serves up huge portions of low-noise gain, and has the same classic American rock sound that the original API® 312A is known for! Get ready to fill your lunchbox®, ‘cause once you go Black Lion Audio, you never go back!
