The Emplexador E-100
The Emplexador E-100 feature a traditional hi/lo
input with selectable voicing between
"Vintage" and "Modern". The first mode, labeled
"Vintage", is based on a 1968 "Plexi" with a few twists
thrown in for added versatility! We've added the ability to engage/disengage
the "Bright Boost" bypass cap of a Classic '72 era amp as well as a
switch to provide the fatter front end of a JTM 45. The master volume control
also provides greater drive control in both modes. The second voicing, labeled
"Modern", is designed to attain the best overdrive sound available
with tons of gain and sustain while still offering some ability to have the amp
clean up when your guitar is turned down. The amp also features:
Gain
Master volume
Treble
Midrange
Bass and Presence controls
Rear panel features:
Impedance selector (4,8,16 ohms)
We've recently added two switches to the front panel
features.
The first switch labeled "Normal-Boost" (replaces
the pull-boost function on the earlier models) with the boost mode providing
additional gain in the higher frequencies. This provides the '69-'72 era
bright/crunchy response. (Remember the effect is diminished as the gain knob is
turned up) The Normal mode allows the amp to be full and warm at lower gain
knob settings.
The second switch labeled "Treble-Fat" allows the
player to choose between the gain structure of a fat JTM 45 (early/mid 60's)
and a more treble-y JMP 50 (later 60's).
Together with all these tonal options a player can really
dial-in almost any classic "British Tone" from clean and bright to
hot and overdriven.
The TopHat Emplexador is so versatile, it's perfect for the
Vintage Marshall enthusiast who loves everything that they used to make, but
can't decide which model to buy. And, for the live performer or studio player
who needs to be able to get those classic "Plexi" sounds and a modern
overdrive all in one amplifier. The Emplexador has it all!
