What's Hot
Ordered directly from Ben Fargen in the US and delivered in late May last year ,a hand wired Fargen DBC 25 watt Combo.
Channel 1 is the Blackbird (Blackface clean channel) Channel 2 is the overdrive channel and can be switched between a Plexi and JCM 800 circuits.
Further tone shaping can be done with a bright switch on CH1 and there is a Variac/Full Power switch.
These amps are not available for order in UK or Europe. I paid £2360 plus 25% vat and import taxes.
This amp really does cover everything from Fender Cleans to classic Marshall Dirt.
£1500 trade value. Looking for EL34 dual or triple channel head.

Comments
I don't know whether Ben designed the amp to actually drop the voltage when the switch is used or to simulate it through electronics. I would guess the former. It produces a sag which increases the amps dynamic, musical feel and pick attack.
Hope this helps.
