Electroplex to Debut EL34-Powered
Rocket 50-EL
The Rocket 50-EL retains
all of the performance and features that have made the venerable
Rocket 50 the amp of choice for performing guitarists worldwide,
and adds the authoritative punch and distinctly "British" character
of EL34 power tubes.
Fullerton,
CA (December 21, 2010) -- Electroplex Amplifiers will debut
the Rocket 50-EL at the 2011 Winter NAMM Show in
Anaheim, CA. The Rocket 50-EL retains all of the
performance and features that have made the venerable Rocket
50 the amp of choice for performing guitarists worldwide,
and adds the authoritative punch and distinctly "British" character
of EL34 power tubes.
Beginning with early Marshall and Hiwatt amps and
others from the UK, EL34-powered amplifiers have established a
unique character and powerful presence favored by guitarists seeking
the hard-driving "second-generation" British sound of Jimi Hendrix,
Pete Townsend, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and many other rock guitar
icons of the '60s through the '90s.
The Rocket 50-EL honors that EL34 tradition and
extends it with the versatile front-end voicing of the Rocket
50 preamp. Two distinctly different channels offer a wide
array of tone colors, and the Rocket's expanded gain
control allows players to precisely tailor the amount of overdrive
in their sound, as well as the overdrive threshold for expressive
touch control. The result is a new-generation EL34 amplifier that
brings exciting new voices and capabilities to the performance stage
and recording studio.
The Rocket 50-EL will be available in head/cab
configurations and in multiple combo configurations, starting
February, 2011. NAMM Show attendees can try out the Rocket
50-EL at the JHS booth #1212 in Hall E.
