Warwick Pro Tube IX

The PRO TUBE IX is armed with a 2x450 watt power stage capable of delivering mind-blowing sound. Channel 1 has a unique two tube preamp featuring a 12AX7 paired with an EL84 power tube. The input to the power amp(s) is switch selectable from just the 12AX7 or the 12AX7 PLUS the EL84 for that unmistakable power tube distortion. The Crunch control takes you from ultra-clean maximum headroom to a juicy tube overdrive

A group of three position switches shape the low, mid, and high characteristics of the sound. A contour switch applies a Warwick voiced, "smile" curve. The second channel of the PRO TUBE IX amp head is all solid state with a switchable limiter and enough bands of graphic EQ to dial in the perfect sound in any room. Its dual power amps can be operated in mono fullrange, stereo fullrange, mono biamp and stereo biamp modes, with both cross-over frequency and balance fully adjustable on the rear panel.
