BLOCK CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

The Instrument input feeds a conventional grounded cathode voltage amplifier which is then followed by a second grounded cathode voltage amplifier stage. The second voltage amplifier feeds a cathode follower pair that makes up the Baxandall inspired, tube based, Bass and Treble shelving equalization and active feedback type boost/cut midrange EQ network. Interaction between the 3 eq sections is minimal yielding more precise and predictable tonal control. Additional make-up gain and output impedance scaling is handled by the last grounded cathode voltage amplifier – cathode follower pair, then into a 4th order high pass driver protection filter, then handing off the signal to the power amp through our proprietary 3DPM™ — 3 Dimensional Power Management technology.
