ALBIT A-1 RED Premium｜Features

High voltage driven 3Tube architecture

Although it is a 9 V specification, the voltage is boosted internally to fully drive the vacuum tubes, achieving both overtones that are not overly saturated even at high gain, and sharp response to picking.

2 ch × GAIN SEL for 4 modes

• ORANGE ch... Bright and sticky crunch
• ORANGE + GAIN SEL: Overdrive that pushes out the midrange
• RED ch... Thick high gain lead
• RED + GAIN SEL: 6 dB boost with reduced high frequencies for thick sustain

If you use it in conjunction with a foot switch, you can switch between solo and backing with just one tap.

Extensive I/O and XLR balanced output

Equipped with an FX loop, THRU, and unbalanced/balanced OUT. You can send the signal to a live PA via line while simultaneously outputting it to a power amp at hand, so you can do both "line recording + cabinet sound."
