Sound characteristics - Channel
A ranges from clean through bluesy crunch and
onto deep, classic rock distortion. It’s Super-T EQ system gives far more
mid range boost.
Thanks to its A-Class circuitry, no other amp does on-the-edge overdrive
better!
Channel B will play totally clean up to the full output of the amp, if
ordered without the B-Class™ crunch circuitry.
Long
Term Performance - Please remember, these amps are 100% solid
state. Unlike valve amps, their tone will not change with age. What you
hear now, is the same as you’ll hear in 10, 20 or 30 years time. We do not
employ the unreliable TDA7293 ‘power amp chips’ in any of our amplifiers,
like Britain's leading guitar amp maker does.
The Sessionette is also
fitted with a Toroidal mains transformer. This reduces hum radiation by up
to 70%. This is of particularbenefit to guitarists who use single coil
pickup equipped guitars, when performing on a small stage and having to
stand next to the amplifier.
It has been
twenty five years since the first Sessionette went on sale in April 1981.
Sound
Samples - Recorded 27th May 2006 in our workshop, customer Stuart
Dixon was noodling on Stewart Ward’s 1963 Telecaster whilst waiting for
his valve amp to be repaired... yet again. The Sessionette amp was mic’d
with an SM58 and recorded direct to a MD recorder. No EQ or effects have
been added, other than 2:1 compression at the mastering stage to get a
better signal/noise ratio.
 Stuart,
who lives in Northampton, is a fine player and available for gigs and
sessions. You can contact him at:

Buck 1 and Dist 5 were
played by Stewart Ward on the same set-up.
