Imperium C50

IMPERIUM combines the advantages of digital technology with the purest tradition of tube amplification for electric guitar. With easy to program settings, IMPERIUM allows 127 custom user sounds, which can be memorized and recalled through a midi pedal board. The digital encoding pots and push buttons of the user friendly control board light up automatically when you set your sounds. 6 pre-installed analog sounds are provided as a base to program your own user sounds.

 

 

• Clean 1: Pristine Clean: great for arpeggios
• Clean 2: funky rhythms, Nashville country sounds
• Sexy: slight distortion: pop, blues overdrive sounds
• Crunch: rock overdrive: dynamic rhythms, light distortion
• Lead 1: solo overdrive: high gain: rock, hard sounds
• Lead 2: heavy rock overdrive: high sustain solo, shredding The digital interface controls allow the combination of Sounds, EQ (tone) settings, volume, effects and power output that can be easily stored as midi presets.
The IMPERIUM amps are equipped with TRUE bypass effect loops to allow connection of external effect pedals, and are selectable from the front panel of the amp and can be directly assignable as a preset. The “pre-preamp” mode indicates the effect is inserted between the guitar and the preamp circuitry.

Brutus Combo

The BRUTUS COMBO is the newest amp solution for stage and home rehearsals. With its electronics integrated with the speaker enclosure, the BRUTUS COMBO is a power machine that can supply 15W rms with built-in “Power Braking” inductive speaker attenuation facility selectable through a LOW button: it keeps the amp power load to its maximum power, though attenuating the output to 1W rms; this function is the ideal for getting overdriven tones at reasonable volume, hard rock in studio or at home. When the power brake is on, the BRUTUS COMBO responds like as being on stage, and grants unbeatable attack and dynamics at the lowest volume. The BRUTUS COMBO is the ideal partner for the recording guitarist, developing his personal playing touch and helping him with remarkable recordings.


• Class AB (single ended) tube guitar combo amp
• 3 x 12AX7 and 1 x 5881 tubes
• Power Output: 15W - 1W rms with “Power Braking”
• 2 channels, 3 sounds: Clean, Crunch, Lead.
• Post-preamp effect loop in buffered series.
• Bass, Middle, Treble EQ
• Built-in reverb
• ¼” (6.3 mm) Slave amp output jack
• ¼” (6.3 mm) Footswitch jack for channel switching and reverb
• 1 x 12” JENSEN ceramic magnet woofer, Cicognani custom voiced
• 13-ply poplar plywood openback cabinet with durable black tolex covering

Brutus

The Brutus Series Guitar amplifiers were developed in collaboration with Italian guitarist virtuoso, Donato Begotti.

The BRUTUS Series amps feature Class A all-tube circuitry designed to provide superb balanced sounds, rich in harmonics and exciting dynamics. The BRUTUS, Brutus LIVE amp heads, the Brutus 112SP and Brutus 212DP speaker cabs are compact and easy to transport, making them ideal for all guitarists for rehearsal, recording studio and stage performance. The tube driven effect loop ensures optimum interfacing with all external effects: analog or digital. The unique sound of the BRUTUS Series amps is reminiscent of famous classic amps of the 60s, but with a modern touch to also produce the new sound of today’s music.


• 2 channels, 5 sounds Channel 1: Clean, Sexy, Crunch. Channel 2: Lead 1, Lead 2
• Bass, Middle, Treble EQ, plus 3 presence frequencies (LF, MF, HF) with adj. boost/ cut in the preamp stage
• Post -preamp effect loop
• Automatic Tube biasing for: 5881, 6L6GC, EL34, 6CA7, KT66, KT88, 6550. The choice of tube replacement allows for personal sound customization
• Individual 4 ohm, 8 ohm, 16 ohms ¼” (6.3mm) speaker output jacks: makes for easy and correct ohms impedance to match the amp to the speaker cabs
• Class A (single ended) tube guitar amp head
• 4 x 12AX7 and 1 x 5881 tubes; autobias circuitry
• 11WRMS power output
• 2 channels, 5 sounds: Clean, Sexy, Crunch, Lead 1, Lead 2

Palmer PDI-CTC

Röhren DI-Box

Palmer PDI-CTC (Palmer Direct Injection-Box - Classic Tube Circuit)

Die Palmer Tube DI-Box kann auch als Vorverstärker eingesetzt werden. Dafür wurde zusätzlich eine 4-Band Klangregelung in das Gerät integriert. Das Schaltungskonzept der PDI-CTC basiert auf einer reinrassigen Röhrenschaltung mit Ausgangsübertrager, die das symmetrische Ausgangssignal an die XLR-Buchsen liefert und gleichzeitig eine galvanische Trennung bewirkt. Der Signalweg einschließlich der Filterschaltung ist somit frei von Halbleitertechnik. Die PDI-CTC wird netzbetrieben, das eingebaute Netzteil erzeugt die für die Röhren notwendigen Spannungen.

Neben dem bei DI-Boxen üblichen Parallelausgang für das Eingangssignal und einem symmetrischen Mikrofonausgang bietet die PDI-CTC zusätzlich einen symmetrischen Ausgang mit Line-Pegel und einen unsymmetrischen niederohmigen Klinkenausgang. Die Klangfilter umfassen den Bereich Bass, Tiefmitten, Hochmitten und Höhen. Die Filter sind "musikalisch" ausgelegt, d.h. sie arbeiten relativ breitbandig. Damit im Bassbereich keine unerwünschten Rumpelfrequenzen und in den Höhen keine Frequenzen außerhalb des Audiobereichs angehoben werden, sind alle Filter mit sogenanntem glockenförmigen Frequenzgang versehen.

Um eine gute Wiederholgenauigkeit von einmal gefundenen Klangeinstellungen zu gewährleisten, hat Palmer die Filter als mehrstufig schaltbar ausgelegt. Jedes Band ist 0 dB, +4 dB, +8 dB per Kippschalter einstellbar. Die Grundidee, auf der die Schaltung der PDI-CTC aufbaut, ist einen möglichst kurzen Signalweg zu verwirklichen, damit die subtilen Klangeigenschaften der Röhre voll zur Geltung gelangen. Aus diesem Grund wurde auch auf einen Lautstärkeregler verzichtet. Die Schaltung bietet so viel Dynamik, dass erst bei mehr als +30 dBu am Line-Ausgang eine Signalbegrenzung eintritt.

Somit ist die PDI-CTC für alle üblichen Instrumente geeignet, z.B. E-Bass, elektro-akustische Gitarre, E-Gitarre, (sofern ein Cleansound gewünscht ist) Keyboards, Synthesizer und mehr.
