The
FRENZEL HBX- AC15 "Sweet Little 15" was "INSPIRED" by the classic Matchless Hot Box and
VOX AC15....but the amp has a lot more features that make it really unique. The amp has two channels...Clean and Boost ....that can be selected by an AB/Y footswitch.
Channel
1 is the Clean channel. This channel bypasses the tone stack. There is no shaping or color to the voicing except
for the tone control on your guitar. The only control is a Gain control. You can crank your guitar volume
control and drive this channel hard without worry of breaking up to soon. It will produce warm
smooth clean tones...just what you put into it.
Channel
2 is the Boost channel. It has three stages of preamp gain that will give you soaring dynamic response with practically
no compression. The tone is further shaped by a vintage style three band tone
stack, Cut control, and a Master Level control. We added a pull - defeat switch to the
Master for you guys that like the wide open non Master control sound....and we also added a NNFB pull
switch to the Cut control to defeat the negative feedback loop. All
the added features produce unbelievable high intensity clean and smooth overdrive saturation tones.
The
FRENZEL HBX - AC15 also comes with all of the other features FRENZEl amps are famous for as described in the features list below. NEW FEATURES NOW STANDARD Hammond 4 - 8 -16 ohm output
