Hybrid Power Guitar Amplifier
Used! Just in on trade. These old Music Man amplifiers are often overlooked and undervalued, but they sound fantastic! One of the best deals you can get for a used guitar amplifier.
The Music Man RD Series guitar amplifiers combine state-of-the-art in vacuum tube design with a built-in reverb and foot-switchable distortion circuitry. Thanks to Music Man’s many circuit refinements, you get the warm sound of tubes, plus cool running, low noise, and high power ratings. The “R” in “RD Series” stands for “Reverb”, and the built-in reverb has anti-shock “Z” spring delay, a genuine advantage over long springs when running high power. The reverb can be adjusted with a front panel control, and turned On/Off via Footswitch.
The “D” in “RD Series” stands for “Distortion”. Five controls (two sets of Gain and Volume controls, and a footswitch that selects between them) let you dial in precisely the amount of distortion you want… from a clean, well-defined sound, to a gentle warmth when you play hard, to an all-out raucous rock and roll sound. You can adjust the Gain for more distortion, and then turn down the Volume to keep the power level where you want it. Thus, depending on how you set the controls, the footswitch selects between two different power levels, two different distortion levels at the same power, or a combination thereof. The footswitch has an indicator light so you know which set is activated. The RD’s also have a high power/standby/low power switch that is useful for added versatility at the volume level you desire.
An effects loop is also built-in. Bright and Deep switches can be used for treble or bass boost. Their frequencies are beyond the standard Bass/Mid/Treble controls, so you get the equivalent of a 5-band EQ.
Like all our used/vintage gear this has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get.
