WHICH TUBES ARE THE RIGHT FOR ME?

6L6 GC

Delivers a clean, fluid sound with less
midrange emphasis, providing a balanced and articulate tone.

KT88

Provides a powerful, clean tone with extended low-end and high-headroom, ideal for players seeking clarity and punch.

EL34

Known for pronounced mids and a
gritty, aggressive character, offering a
classic British sound.

6V6

Offers a warm, sweet tone with earlier
breakup, perfect for achieving vintagestyle overdrive at lower volumes.

MIX AND MATCH FOR
ULTIMATE TONE

Our big amps take versatility to the next level by letting you combine for example KT88 and 6L6 power tubes — a game-changing feature that blends power, punch, and warmth like never before! The KT88s deliver massive headroom, deep lows, and razor-sharp articulation, while the 6L6s add warmth, smooth mids, and dynamic response. The result? A crushing, full-bodied tone that stays tight, clear, and brutally powerful. Get the best of both worlds—refined, massive, and totally unique! We offer also the combination of EL34 with KT77!

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS

BUILT-IN NOISEGATE

The built-in Noisegate is only working in channel two. It has just one threshold knob and
one switch (on/off). For the PurpleNightmare you also can set it to „Off when Master 2 is
engaged“. This means, the Noisegate will turn off when you hit the Master 2 button for your
lead part. With this option you never have to find a compromise in threshold setting for
rhythm and lead.

FOOTSWITCHES

Our amps will be delivered with a 2-Button Footswitch. Choose two options you like to
control: Channel, Master 2, T/S, Loop, Mute. For the MiniNightmare you can choose if you
want to control Channel and Gainmod or T/S and Loop – or just order two footswitches to
control all four functions. For the PurpleNightmare is a 5-Position Footswitch available,
you can control all 5 functions.

SIZZLE SWITCH

Our Poweramps have a smoth and present top-end. For some applications you need this
high frequency distortion „fizz“ or „sizzle“. This option will bring this „fizz“ back into your
sound. It was developed with two leading Metal producers, Lasse Lammert and Mark Lewis, to fulfill all their needs.

MIDI IMPLEMENTATION

For the PurpleNightmare you can order a full Midi implementation. With this you will have
three Channels: Clean, Burn in lowgain modus and Burn in highgain modus. Also you have
full control about T/S, Loop, Mute and Master 2. For the MiniNightmare we have a small
external Midi-Box available to control Channel, GainMod, T/S and Loop. The needed patch
cables are included.

CHOOSE YOUR TOLEX AND GRILL CLOTH

We can work with any available Tolex and Grill Cloth on your amp – this is free of charge! As the MiniNightmare has a powder coated Aluminium enclosure, ask for special colors. Here we can do any RAL colors.
