The Valve Bimbo & Stratocaster : Part 1 Clean sound

This is my new amp : The 105 "Bimbo" 5W tube amp is single channel, 5 watt, class A amplifier that incorporates the preamp design based upon one of the most legendary Marshall amplifier ever produced in the early 1970.
Here is the first part of a test with a Fender Custom Shop Strat.

could this amp keep up with a drummer on this setting? Great playing by the way!

[Stratocasteph]

@stephenbh122 No.

ah ca ca fait plaisir de te réentendre

[Stratocasteph]

@oliveguitar17 Merci c'est sympa. J'ai déménagé l'hiver dernier, donc je n'ai pas trop eu le temps de faire des vidéos depuis. :-)

sounds great - watch her scream with a fuzz face or treble booster!

[Stratocasteph]

@RokinLee I think that I'll buy a treble booster soon.

Very nice amp! great clean sound. Would like to find a nice 12-15 watt with reverb.  I'll check your site.

@Smargiasso33 NO sorry I didn't explained myself. This is an amp built to carefully reproduce the distorted tone of the ebst amps of the 70ies at apartment level by maintaining the tone full tube even at 1/2 watt. It's also an am which using the volume of the guitar and setting the controls properly, allows you to acehive very nice celans the likes you can hear in the vieeo of Stratocasteph.

@FruduaTv ok i see....so it is an amp meant to keep the cleanest possible sound even at a high volume right? i think that a 10-15 watt would be great if created with a gain control on it...but it would be a very different amp....still i think there are many people who would be glad to have an amp like that...btw the bimbo is a very good amp

Hi Smargiasso33 Galeazzo Frudua here. On the Bimbo if you LOWER the attenuation control you actually lower the "volume level" keeping the power tube tone as it was at maximum and at the same time you introduce tubes distortion. So the keeping it at max deliver the cleanest tone lowering it introduces more drive.

[Smargiasso33]

a question...i see that you play at max volume and attenuation is none...so why the valves don't get saturated? the sound is super clean...so the gain is basically a super master volume?
