GUITAR AMPLIFICATION
TL-50
Description
Take one look at the Curtain Burner TL-50 and you cannot help but notice its straightforward design. The absence of extra features is a direct result of years of engineering to create one of the most sonically pure guitar amplifiers available today.
The Curtain Burner TL-50 is an all tube guitar amplifier hand made in America. Comprised of the highest quality parts available, the TL-50’s circuitry is laid out for the purest signal path and minimal electrical interference; any unneeded components that could cause degradation in the sound quality have been eliminated. While its sound is reminiscent of the classic British tube amps of the 60’s and 70’s, the TL-50 offers a transparent reproduction of notes not found in older amps.
The TL-50 preamp sections consist of one 12AT7 and two 7025 tubes. The front-end stages of the amplifier create an immediate response to the player’s touch and highlight every nuance of change to the strings. A Calm/Bold switch allows for adjustments in the voicing of the TL-50 ranging from an open, lively feel, to a tighter, more controlled tonal foundation. An anode-driven TMB tone stack has been designed to emphasize the midrange voice of the electric guitar, while restoring tonal characteristics inherently filtered out by most guitar amps.
The power amp section of the TL-50 is made up of one 12AX7 phase inverter and two EL34 output tubes. Together, with tight diode rectification, the power amp section of the TL-50 provides a focused aural punch with clear articulation and sustain.
With a single input, a single channel, and a non-cluttered faceplate, the Curtain Burner TL-50 is the antithesis of the over engineered all-purpose platform amp. The TL-50 is designed to do one thing: create the best guitar tones possible. The result is a carefully crafted amplifier that delivers an amazing sonic experience filled with rich harmonics and dynamic tones you won’t soon forget.
