"I
couldn't believe it when I saw her get into his car.
Just tore me up...after all I've done. Bad enough I
can't pay the rent. If I still had my license,
I'd go get wrecked."
Time to
go off. Time to mend what's broken. Right about
now you're lucky you've got your music. Times like this
when a Heartbreaker becomes more than just an amp.
Conceived
as the 25th Anniversary Tribute to the original Mark I, the
Heartbreaker is a two channel / five mode, footswitchable
rendering of that evolutionary milestone. The channels
- Love and Lust, trace the two faces of rock-and-roll back
to their amplified roots celebrating the stylistic yin and
yang that was taking shape simultaneously on opposite sides
of the Atlantic. Love embodies all the black-face magic of
yesteryear and can be switched between three distinct regions
of gain ranging from bubbly, chiming clean, up through medium
gain blues - all the way to the liquid, singing voice of the
fabled Mark I's lead channel... the world's first high gain
performance.
The Lust
channel flashes an enticing blend of harmonically lush sounds
across two diverse modes that serve it up any style.
From the saucy howl of a 4x10 Tweed to a teasing plexi purr
- Lust toys with the fine line between clean and dirty with
sinful sincerity. Both channels sport selectable voicing
options as well as individual Reverb and Presence controls.
The entire
personality of this dynamic diva can be further altered with
the Bold/Curvaceous switch. One flick of this powerful
master makeover switch toggles between the best traits of
the genders. Bold delivers masculine authority and maximum
headroom, while Curvaceous softens the feel and produces tones
of the rounder variety making it possible to adapt to any
stylistic parlor you may find yourself in.
The Heartbreaker's
four 6L6s are supplied high-voltage from a dynamic tube rectifier
or can be switched to the silicon-diodes for added punch and
headroom. The on-board Bias Selector allows substitution
of either EL34 or 6V6 output tubes for the shipped quartet
of 6L6's capturing a more Euro vibe or, if you prefer, a true
low power retro feel. Each selection has its own distinctive
feel and forte.
For further
power compression, use the Tweed switch which acts like a
built-in Variac. A half power (60/100 watt) switch lets
you choose your ponies to further dress down for more intimate
occasions. Two custom Celestion 12's drive the arrows deep
making it hard to forget the Heartbreaker's wider sonic footprint.
Also available
in a stunning wide-body head and matching 2 x 12 for the stacked
look. Either way, the Heartbreaker is destined to leave
an indelible mark... like a tattoo that will always be part
of you.
