Budda Announces the Return of a Legend: The Twinmaster Amplifier

Budda Amplification announces the return of the Budda Twinmaster, the legendary

amplifier that sparked the low-wattage revolution in guitar amplification. The

hand-wired Budda Twinmaster is a reissue of the groundbreaking amplifier that

debuted in 1995.

The Budda Twinmaster is a dynamic boutique amplifier with a straightforward feature

set in an 18-watt combo format. Completely hand-wired in the U.S.A. with high-grade

audio components, the Twinmaster features a hybrid layout that combines a

turret-board hand-wired 12AX7 preamp and a point-to-point hand-wired EL84 power amp

with a 5U4 rectifier.

The Twinmaster has a simple, plug & play feature set, with a single Volume control,

highly responsive Treble and Bass controls, and two separate inputsNormal and Hi

Gainthat feed separate tube stages for a multitude of gain characteristics. The

Normal input offers a lively palette of sweet, smooth tone that cleans up well,

while the Hi Gain input delivers a surprising amount of gain and overdrive that can

be dialed back by trimming down the guitar's volume control.

Amenities like a Slave Output and Effects Loop add modern convenience to the

Twinmaster's classic vibe. The Slave Output is connected in parallel to the speakers

and sends a padded, non-powered signal that can be used as a direct output for live

or studio recording. A separate, powered Speaker Output can be connected to a

specially tuned Budda extension cabinet, or another loudspeaker enclosure with the

proper impedance rating.

The Twinmaster chassis is loaded into a solid, finger-jointed pine enclosure,

equipped with a single 12" Budda Phat loudspeaker, and finished with a striking

black Budda covering, matching metal corner caps and classic white piping.

The Budda Twinmaster is available now from authorized Budda Amplification retailers.
