Upgraded boost Circuit
The IRONHEART amps have been enhanced with upgraded boost circuitry, elevating their already formidable sonic capabilities to new heights.
Premium Hand Selected ECC83 & 6L6 tubes
We chose a suite of ECC83 pre amp tubes and paired them with 6L6 power tubes to ensure that the IRONHEARTS were versatile - providing plenty of clean headroom for Jazz, Country tones and with enough gain for the most brutal of Metal riffs - these premium tubes have the following characteristics.
ECC83 tubes are known for their high gain, making them suitable for achieving distortion and overdrive sounds at lower volumes. They tend to produce warm, rich tones with a pronounced midrange and a creamy distortion when pushed.
6L6 tubes are known for their clarity, headroom, and ability to produce a tight low-end response. They offer a clean and punchy sound when not pushed too hard, but they also contribute to a warm and smooth distortion when driven into overdrive.
This combination results in a harmonically rich, creamy overdrive with a punchy and defined low-end response.
Push Pull EQ
The versatility of the tube pairing is matched with a powerful set of push pull EQ controls. Each EQ control knob comes with an additional function when pulled, allowing for specific adjustments in the sound:
Bass: Deep - When you pull the Bass knob, it extends the low-end frequency response. This results in a heavier, fuller sound for lower notes, enhancing the depth and richness of the bass tones.
Mid: Shift - Pulling the Mid knob lowers the frequency range of the mid control.This tightens the sound, providing a more focused and precise midrange, ideal for achieving clarity within the mix.
Treble: Shift - Pulling the Treble knob broadens the Treble control frequency response. This alteration creates a rounder sound for higher notes, especially beneficial when using pickups that tend to produce thinner tones. It enhances the resonance and sweetness of the higher frequencies.
In essence, these pull-switch functionalities offer practical adjustments to sculpt the bass, mid, and treble frequencies, providing a versatile range of tonal possibilities to suit various musical styles and preferences.
