Manufacturer's Description from Other

The 45/50 watt version is tube rectified with a typical GZ34 rectifier tube, whereas the 100 watter is classically solid state recified.

These models feature a traditional hi/lo input with selectable voicing between "Classic" and "Overdrive". The first mode, labeled "Classic", is based on a 1968 "Plexi" with a few twists thrown in for added versatility! We've added the ability to engage/disengage the "Bright Boost" bypass cap of a Classic '72 era amp as well as a per-EQ fat-off-brite switch to provide added versatility to work with more guitars/styles as possible and covering the classic tones of different eras, too. The master volume control also provides greater drive control in both modes, with no degradation from a non master amp, when dimed.

The second voicing, labeled "Overdrive" is designed to attain the best overdrive sound available with tons of gain and sustain while still offering some ability to have the amp clean up when your guitar is turned down.

It is a 3 gain stage arrangement (compared to 2 in Classic mode) similar to a late JMP or JCM...

The Emplexador is so versatile, it's perfect for the Vintage Marshall enthusiast who loves everything that they used to make, but can't decide which model to buy. And, for the live performer or studio player who needs to be able to get those classic "Plexi" sounds and a modern overdrive all in one amplifier. The Emplexador has it all! Available in either 50(TH-E50TR) or 100(TH-E100) watts, these babies scream!

Together with all these tonal options a player can really dial-in almost any classic "British Tone" from clean and bright to hot and overdriven, as well as a 50's American Tweed.
