PreBS 20+ Green Levant

patsweet — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 22:25:22 +0000

The latest PreBS 20+ has a couple of new features to add improved performance and even more versatility. Along with the 2×10 speakers, over-sized transformers from Mercury Magnetics, and bias test points on the rear panel, this one also has Vibroverb style bias-modulated vibrato and Bassman/JTM 45 voicing for the normal channel and a PPIMV on the rear panel for getting dirt/grind/overdrive at reasonable volumes. This amp does both sparkling clean blackface reverb tones as well as crunchy sustained tweed/early Marshall overdrive. Too much fun! Stay tuned for some pro demos soon!

PreBS 15+ Carolina Blue

patsweet — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 04:42:07 +0000

A custom order PreBS 15+ with Carolina blue tolex and cane grillcloth. As always with the + models you can swap 6V6 for 6L6 power tubes for more power and headroom with the upgraded Mercury Magnetics trannies. I definitely prefer 6L6s, especially in a band situation and the GA-SC64 Eminence speaker is the icing on the cake! Simultaneously warm and clear with a distinctive vintage character at low to moderate volumes and glorious with rich harmonics and growl when pushed hard! The push-pull mid boost takes it into early Marshall territory with singing ringing feedback when cranked. Think early Angus Young and how he would let the note ring until it just started to feedback on a single note instead of noodling and shredding a million more notes. From country to R&B, blues, surf, and classic rock, it’s in there. A Sweet tone machine!

PreBS 15 Surf Green

patsweet — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 03:49:26 +0000

A new PreBS 15 in surf green with a turquoise stripe in the grill cloth! Standard power transformer with a deluxe reverb output transformer and choke filtering for just a bit more headroom than a traditional Princeton Reverb. A pair of 6V6s gives 18W output through a Mojotone BV series 12″ speaker and the push-pull bright, mid-boost, and negative feedback control gives plenty of usable tone shaping options. Vintage tone that stays tight when pushed!

PreBS 20+ Cherry cab

patsweet — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 03:46:50 +0000

Fresh off the bench, this PreBS 20+ is extra Sweet with top of the line Mercury Magnetics trannies, solid cherry cab with dovetail joints and hand rubbed oil/urethane finish. This time around I went with a traditional 1×12 baffle featuring a hemp cone Eminence Cannabis Rex. Of course it also has all the bells and whistles too like push-pull bright and mid-boost pots and negative feedback control to dial in the amount and character of headroom/breakup. Equally at home in the studio or on stage. A Deluxe reverb style build and then some!

A pair of 6V6 or 6L6 power tubes put out from 20W -36W and a user adjustable bias pot on the rear panel makes tube changes simple and saves you $. The best inside and out!

Give me a call to set up a private demo with your guitar and pedals in the amp workshop where you can crank it up, compare to other Sweet amps, or even bring your current amp!
