The amplifier utilizes a lone 12AX7 tube in the preamplifier and a solid state power amplifier. The effects loop allows for placement of time based effects after the drive section to maintain clarity and prevent muddiness.
ZOMBIE amp works great at lesser gain settings and lets you use your favorite overdrives to push it into higher gain with their own unique flavors. because of the High Gain structure of this amp, a noise gate, like our "Gate of Kahn" is a good idea to make your heavy chords nice and tight.
BanTamP XL series features a channel switching footswitch, 6 knobs--specifically speaking, 2 channels can be controlled independently, now we have better control over the volume of CLEAN Channel and DISTORTION Channel, and adjust their GAIN and TONE independently.
The icing on the cake is the Bluetooth connectivity is great to practice with PlayAlongs or to learn songs. Careful, the amp is small, but loud… its 20 Watts can be quite a handful. If you want to practice quietly, use the built in headphone out with speaker emulation.
The ZOMBIE also has a CLEAN channel that can take pedals really well, which makes it flexible and a great little companion for many situations where your "big" head is just not sensible. once you start working with this amp, it will feel as if you are playing through a much bigger head and your friends just won't believe where your sound is really coming from.
