DiamondJig Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 A new entry into the 5 watt tube amp heads $299 use GC pomp30 to get $30 off due in 5/31, I think I'm in. http://www.jetcityamplification.com/amplifiers/pico-valve/ What's great is that it uses THD tech which allows the user to swap the power tube at will – use nearly any octal-based tube without the need to re-bias the amp. sweet. I've be dig'n for info, not much around, it seems it comes with a 6V6 and 2-12AX7's. When I compare it to THD's Univalve which is the 1 tube version that can use a 6V6 on the low current setting to produce 5 watts and if you use one of there yellow jackets EL84 it's down to 4 watts. So it seems the Picovalve is on the low watt setting to produce the 5 watts and has a pentode/Triode switch to go down to 3 watts. I like the fact that it has a gain and master vol, if it had an effects loop it would be perfect. old image new image, i like this one, better switches, the addition of the bright switch, 2watt setting [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGSpecialguy Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 not the tone king trying it out looks like a pretty cool little amp, the 3 switches on the lower right look a little cheesy though, hard to tell about the actual sound quality too from that video, but the price is right !!
