Features
that are included with the BiValve.
The BiValve has all the features of the UniValve
and more! Producing as much as 30 watts, the BiValve is easily capable
of driving a 4 x 12" cabinet, yet quite small and light. It has a
built-in Hot Plate™ Power Attenuator that allows for full output
distortion at almost any volume. The
BiValve could be your ultimate club gigging and recording amplifier.
The THD BiValve has
a couple of notable features absent from it's little brother, the UniValve.
An Effects loop and the Cut Switch. The Effects Loop allows you to patch
effects into the BiValve post preamp. This feature is great for using
delays, reverbs, additional eq, or any other effects that you want to
run post the preamp. The Cut Switch cuts some high frequencies off for
a warmer and smoother sound.
The ability of the
THD BiValve to mix and match not only preamp tubes, but power tubes as
well, gives it sonic options no other tube amplifier can match. In recording
situations this feature alone makes the BiValve a must have for any serious
tone maven! Throw out your fakey modeling boxes and get with some real
tube tone folks! "But I need to record late at night without upsetting
my family and neighbors" you say? You can disconnect your speaker
cabinet from the BiValve or the UniValve safely for silent recording.
When there is no
speaker plugged into the speaker jack, the amp uses its own built-in dummy
load so no damage will occur, and to allow the silent use of the amp for
direct recording purposes when miking a cabinet is not practical. With
the speaker safely disconnected you may run directly out of the Line Out
into a speaker simulator, like the Palmer or the Voodoo Labs CabTone,
or run it direct without simulation. You will get a better result on overdrive
tones with a speaker simulator, however. Direct out sounds amazing on
cleaner tones, and it absolutely smokes for recording bass direct as well.
Nails a vintage B-15 or SVT type tone direct to tape or DAW. Slap some
headphones on and track real deal, fat tube tones directly! Plug guitars,
basses, harmonicas, keyboards or whatever though it when recording. How
cool is that? You need one of these killer amps!!
