King's Head

Description:

Bass amp introduced in 2008. Most likely the original name for the King's Head must have been Big Ben, as the name Big Ben can be found on the stickers on top of the Mercury Magnetic transformers and the power transformer datasheet form Mercury Magnetics (which you can find below). For some reason the name has changed to King's Head by the time they came into production. There are only a few King's Heads bass amps made by 65 Amps.
The "Choke Pre/Post" switch on the backpanel makes it possible to have the plate supply voltage fed post choke (instead of directly after the primary filter cap before the choke). The post choke setting gives the power tubes a softer attack and slightly less total power.
