Amps/Black Gold Series



Black Gold 5
Code: KEN01-BG5
Price: $1,295.00
Quantity in Basket: none

The new Black Gold 5. We have reinvented the Black Gold 5. The innards are now entirely point-to-point on a Garolite board (same as the Gerald Weber Signature amp). A GZ34 rectifier tube was added which dramatically improved sustain. With the 10" Kendrick speaker, reverb, choice of hardwood canarywood cabinet or Tolex covered antique pine; this 5 watt wonder rips. It is fixed bias Class A design with a single 6L6 tube running at 50 mA single ended. (This in itself is very unique) You have never heard a better clean tone coming from a small amp. The overdrive is orchestral and rich with harmonics. Play your bridge humbucker with the amp set for overdrive and you might think you are playing through an octavia!

1x10" Speaker configuration

All Black Gold amplifiers (except the BG5) have two channels (clean and lead), four inputs ( a high and low gain for each channel). There are Volume controls for each channel, a single master Tone control (turn it up for full treble just like a guitar tone), and a three knob reverb (controlling how hard you Drive the pan, the Tone of the return signal from the pan, and the Mix of reverb to dry signal.)

All Black Gold Amps feature Kendrick Kwik-Bias system. Meter Pin Jacks located on back panel of all Black Gold Amps. This allows user to bias output tubes quickly with only a voltmeter. We wanted your new amp to always sound its best.
