Selling my Jackson Ampworks Britain 30 in custom ordered Vox Fawn. Speaker is Celestion Alnico Cream and it sounds unreal. The best of Vox/Matchless/Bad Cat in a lunchbox style head and very compact huge sounding dual ported 1x12. Sounds more like a 4x12!!

£2000

Ideally looking for a Gibson 335 block inlay in anything other than red, black or sunburst.

Here’s the amp blurb;

The Britain 30 features two totally separate channels, each with its own set of dedicated tone controls. While two channel amps have been available for any years, the magic of the Britain 30 lies in its ability to blend those two channels together to create an infinite number of tonal options!

Channel 1 is an EF86 based preamp and features our own footswitch-able boost circuit that true bypasses the Treble and Bass controls resulting in a substantial boost in volume, gain and tonal purity. Channel 1, being the higher gain of the two, is considered the dirty channel of the amp and offers a very broad frequency response that works to deliver your instruments true voice with minimal coloring or artifacts.

Channel 2 of the Britain 30 is a 12AX7 based “Top-Boost” preamp that balances perfectly against Channel 1 by providing pristine clean tones with incredible headroom and articulation. This channel, which was designed to remain clean longer than Channel 1, embodies the very definition of clean British guitar tone but is enhanced with increased richness and depth.

Channels 1 and 2 are internally linked so that the use of the input labeled “1/2” sends the guitars signal to both channels equally. In this arrangement, each channel is active along with its associated tone controls and blending of the two channels is as simple as adjusting the Volume control for each channel. The true advantage of this type of arrangement lies in the ability to blend Channels 1 and 2 together while still allowing tonal shaping of each channel via their respective Treble and Bass controls.

Plugging into the input labeled “2” breaks the internal connection to Channels 1 and 2 thereby allowing them to function independently. This feature allows the player to use a completely different signal chain (floor based effects etc.) for each channel if desired, and is fully expanded by the use of an ABY box to select channels 1, 2 or both.

To make the Britain 30 even more flexible, we have incorporated a series FX loop for each channel. Much the same way using two inputs gives maximum flexibility, having a dedicated FX loop for each channel allows the player an unprecedented amount of control. As an example, with this configuration, the musician could insert a reverb or delay unit in the Channel 2 FX loop to expand his clean tones while at the same time leave Channel 1 dry to optimize his/her overdriven sound for greater punch and clarity. The same goes for each channel. With this setup you can add effects to either channel, both channels or neither channel. You have complete control.

To make the Britain 30 more flexible we have included a Master Tone control that allows the player to have fine control over the high-end response of the amplifier that is completely independent of the two channels’ Treble and Bass controls, even when the Boost mode of Channel 1 is used! Having this control is also very effective at tailoring the overall tone of the amp when playing in various acoustic environments without having to re-EQ the two channels.

In addition to the Master Tone control the Britain 30 features a Power control that adjusts the Power Scaling in the amp. The Power Scaling in the Britain 30 allows the user to adjust the high voltage being fed to the power tubes from 350V down to 35V which consequently lowers the output power of the amp from 30W down to 1/8W. This control is one of the most important features of the amp as it allows the player to adjust the output volume of the amp to suit any size stage environment as well as get true output tube overdrive at any volume level!

For occasions when the player does not need to Power Scale the amplifier a Power Scaling bypass switch has been included that allows the player to completely bypass the Power Scaling feature.
