Powertone II Simply put, the Powertone II is the next dimension in guitar amplification. With only two directions in life; power & tone, the amp is properly named, and make no mistake, this is a rock amp! The Powertone offers three channels, two foot-switchable volume settings, Accutronics long tank reverb and voicing switches on all channels. The ‘Clean’ channel offers luscious clean tones, rich open and well defined. The ‘Gain’ channel has 4 tube stages, and its improved dynamics and compression make it a great rhythm channel for most heavier rock styles. The ‘Ultra-Gain’ channel has 5 tube stages bringing you the highest gain and most harmonically rich lead tone, while maintaining a high level of articulation.
Like the Multitone, the clean channel incorporates a 3-way bright switch, and the 2 overdrive channels each have a dedicated 2-way mid-shift switch. The Powertone also has the 3-way Speaker Damping switch, taking the amp from a clear tight bottom end to one which is incredibly powerful and open. Serial & parallel effects loops, and a direct output for recording are also included on the back panel.
