Albion TCT 50

Amp is in very good condition, perfect working order with a few marks on the tolex. It's a cool amp in which you have two channels that can be blended together, except each has its own tonestack. Albion was created by an engineer who worked for both Marshall and Vox, very rare and hard to find. Sorry, no trades as I’m trying to offload gear, not replace it Make an offer I have a matching 2x12 horizontal cab that I'd like to keep, but if interested let me know and I can send some pictures. I might part with it for the right price Great "Sleeper" Amp Steve Grindrod the noted “Ampguru” has been creating great British Sounds for 50 years and his designs have become industry standards (Chief Designer at Marshall & Vox). With continual review of his designs, taking on-board comments from musicians worldwide…Albion are proud to present the TCT Series…So if you’re ready to rumble…check them out you will not be disappointed. A brilliantly designed amp with amazing features, classy good looks and strong tone! Designed by Steve Grinrod - Chief Designer for Marshall & Vox. ALBION TCT-50 - ALL TUBE GUITAR AMPLIFIER HEAD 2 Separate Channels with a MIX mode – you can blend both channels into one, allowing you to blend a clean signal into an overdriven sound Each Channel has a separate: Gain, Drive, Bass, Mid, Treble, Volume 50 Watts, 8 or 16 ohm Output Excellent spectrum of sounds from Crystal clean and Crunch to thumping High Gain, Reverb is top notch A/B Chanel mix is superb A beautifully designed head with 2 seperate channels and extensive tone-shaping features. The Albion TCT Series TCT50H 50W Tube Guitar Amp Head has 2 separate switchable channels, both featuring the same controls per channel. Both channels feature the capability of running (depending on control settings) from “clean” through “crunch” to “high gain lead”. But due to the different “voicing” provided by the EQ position (and other voicing elements), both channels have an entirely different spectral response and player’s “feel”. The TCT-50 has the ability to mix both channels together (footswitchable) making them capable of 3 channel operation. The preamplifier section uses 4 double triode low noise 7025/12AX7/ECC83 valves (tubes) with high speed relay switching for circuit reconfiguration when channel switching. In MIX mode a Balance control allows the MIX level to be adjusted higher or lower than the A/B volume level enabling the MIX to be used as a Lead boost for instance. The TCT50 power amplifier uses a 12AX7/ECC83 phase splitter and 2 EL34 output valves respectively for classic high power guitar amp punch. The power amp section can be switched between two feedback networks. Loose gives a raw, open, vintage style to the sound with lots of player feel and tactile response. Tight gives a much tighter modern response to the sound and feel. The output section can also be run at 33% (approx 16.5 watts for TCT50) of its total output power for those situations when flat out really is “too loud”!

Video Reviews: Steve Grinrod´s Own Words "When I sat down with a blank piece of paper to design the TCT all tube handwired range of amplifiers, I had a long hard look at all the guitar amps that I had designed previously. Many of those designs were destined to be what can only be called Classics (Marshall, Vox etc), I wanted to approach these new amps in a different perspective. This put the image in my mind as “what do I want from an amp, and how do I want it to look”. As a guitar player of many years I have used many different amps, many times different ones hooked up in a multi-amp set up for the different sounds that I needed at the time. This realisation formulated the basic concept and functionality of the direction I needed to go in, something that was simple to use but was as variable as possible. Oh, and sounded great at everything it did as well. What I wanted it to look like” actually developed pretty quickly. – I wanted something that looked classy and stood out from the crowd, something that at the same time was familiar yet unique. For want of a better word “boutique”! I think that the TCT series of Albion amps fulfils my dream and desire with room to spare. Finally “my” own amp!
