The TS1 “Tone Secret” amp was originally released in 2010 and it has been one of the most iconic amplifiers we have had the pleasure to build.
The TS1 is a nod to the classic overdrive, cascading gain stage amplifier and we wanted to put our take on this design. Featuring a full tube buffered effects loop and an overdrive channel that is incredibly touch-sensitive with a rich sustain that will inspire you to express yourself in new and creative ways.
In 2020, we changed the layout from previous incarnations of this amplifier to give you more tonal shaping options and performance.

4ohm, 8ohm, 16ohm
Tube buffered with individual level controls, bright switches, and on/off switches for both the send and return. This allows the player to configure the loop in multiple ways: fully buffered active loop, half buffered active loop, or passive loop.
