Description
The Monterey offers a modern approach to vintage-inspired tones, combining classic feel with expanded versatility. It’s built around the familiar 2x6V6 format of classic American amps, while incorporating a touch of British flavor through an EF86 gain stage reminiscent of early Vox designs. This is paired with the innovative “Reductive Master” control, which serves as a highly effective output attenuator, allowing you to dial in power tube character at more manageable volumes. It should be noted that there is a pronounced pop when switching on/off the Master control, which is a normal characteristic of the design.
With plenty of tonal flexibility on tap, the Monterey is well suited for a wide range of playing styles and applications. Here’s what the manufacturer has to say about it:
This means: no flabby low-end, no shrill top-end; a pleasant, detailed rendition of your favorite 6V6 vocabulary with many new voices, American and British, added. The Monterey, along with our SoHo amps, employs our trademarked Bump™ control. The Bump™ control is a much more effective alternative to traditional channel switching. The Bump™ allows the user to gain-up and re-slope the amp's tone stack allowing much more midrange to flow through the circuit; thereby gaining up the entire amp naturally and not inducing false preamp gain that creates fizz and buzz. The end result is the effect of having 2 amps in one.
Lastly, we've included a bypassable Master Volume that we call a "Reductive Master™". When the Reductive Master™ is rolled down, the tone-stack is re-sloped to emphasize the frequencies that our ears hear better at high-volumes. The end result is the impression of a large amp blasting, but at bedroom or small-gig volumes. When the Reductive Master™ is bypassed, the entire Reductive Master™ circuit is completely removed, leaving only the pure guitar signal to flow unfettered through the circuit. Two versions were available: a 22 Watt version and a "high power" (HP) 35 Watt version. Introduced in 2007."
