The other "one" I posted in the proliferating V thread, reminded me of this other "0001" I have..
This is an A/DA Rocket A10, introduced in 1997, A/DA attempt to get into the Boo-Teak amp market . Read this These are really rare, only a couple hundred were made. There was a 20 watt version (2xel84) and some reverb versions. This amp I have was at the NAMM show promoting these, hence the 0001 serial #. A/DA didn't last much longer, went TU. A/DA is reincarnated with a line of stomp boxes. This amp has been in my stash since 2000. This amp sports 1 12ax7 and 1 el84. It has a great raunchy tone when cranked, be advised SE output distortion is more "chunky and gritty" than a PP( Push Pull) output distortion. The " Power Amp Thrust" is a switch that takes the NFB ( negative feed back) out. I won't go into a bunch of theory here, NFB is a way to cancel out distortion and let an amp stay cleaner as it is turned up. If you want an old SF bassman to get nasty, try the NFB snipped... These amp featured a very large OPT, as a way to keep the the amp cleaner longer( less core saturation, unlike the Fender Champ's little OPT, which sound cool anyway) Any way.. when I get some time I will put the two "ones" together for some recording.. OK, enough chatter PIX!!
