New Gear: Fuchs Audio ODH Tube-Hybrid Guitar Amplifier
Fuchs Audio has introduced their latest amp the ODH © Hybrid. Assembled in USA.
PRESS ANNOUNCEMENT
Featuring an ODS © style all tube preamp, operating at True High Voltage ® into a fan-cooled Ice power module, the ODH brings high-powered clean and overdrive tones to an extremely compact size and a truly affordable price point.
Like the Fuchs ODS© amps, the ODH clean preamp features 3-position brite switch, a mid-boost switch, an EQ switch, high, mid and low controls. The clean preamp drives the overdrive section in D-Style fashion. The OD channel has an input gain and output master with an overdrive tone control. This ensures perfect tuning of both the clean and overdrive channels. A unique tube limiter circuit controls the Ice Power module input. Any signal clipping is (intentionally) non-linear so it responds just like a real tube amp.
The ODH includes a two-way footswitch for channels and gain boost. A 30-second mute timer assures the tubes are warmed-up before the power amp goes live. The ODH features our lush and warm Spin reverb. A subsonic filter eliminates out-of-band low frequencies which would normally waste amplifier power, which assures tons of clean headroom. The amp also features Accent and Depth controls, allowing contouring of the high and low response of the power amp section, to match speakers, cabinets and environments. The ODH features a front panel fully buffered series effects loop and a line out jack, allowing for home recording or feeding a slave amp. A three-position mute switch mutes the amp, the line out or mute neither.
Built on the same solid steel chassis platform as the Fuchs FB series bass amps, the amps feature a steel chassis and aluminum front and rear panels, Alpha potentiometers, ceramic tube sockets, high-grade circuit boards and Neutrik jacks. The ICE power amp is 150 watts into 8 ohms and 300 watts into 4 ohms, and nearly 500 watts into 2.65 ohms (4 and 8 ohms in parallel) and operates on universal AC voltage, so it’s fully globally compatible. The chassis is fan-cooled to insure hours of cool operation under any circumstances. The all tube preamp uses dual-selected 12AX7 tubes and a 6AL5 limiter tube.
Shipments begin in July. A padded carry bag is also available.
