Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good (*footswitch included but not pictured)
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
The LS30 design came from the idea of taking the red channel of my LS100G3 (the lower gain section of the distortion channel) and make a one channel, lower wattage, EL34 powered amp out of it. With the help of Musical Power Supply’s custom transformers, I went to work on the project.
Once the prototype was built (always having versatility in mind) I couldn't resist dividing the “one channel” into two channels with a shared tone stack....just to see how it would work. As it turned out, it worked better than I expected! Together with the bright switches, separate gain controls and master volumes on both channels, they work together very nicely.
So here is the LS30 that developed from that original idea...30 watts of EL34 goodness:
CLEAN CHANNEL
Goes from beautiful clean to moderately overdriven. Switchable bright cap that works with the gain control
DISTORTION CHANNEL
This has two levels of gain (accessible by a foot switch) for rhythm and lead. Plus, a three-way bright switch.
PLUS
Tube buffered transparent effects loop and a digital reverb.
