3RD POWER Announces Two Updated British Voiced Dream Solo Amplifiers

Nashville, TN March 4, 2013 — 3RD POWER™ announced it has updated two Dream Solo amplifiers from the popular Dream Solo™ Series hand-wired amplifier line. The new Dream Solo 4 is the versatile Plexi-voiced unit now featuring “Orange Glow”, an all tube higher gain mode. The new Dream Solo 3 is the AC30-voiced that has been completely re-imagined to deliver every ounce of classis British AC chime and growl possible out of a 6V6 output tube platform.

 

The updated Dream Solo 4 amplifier is now shipping with a hot new feature, Orange Glow. The Orange Glow feature is an all tube gain mode that increases the saturation of overdriven guitar tones. The new Dream Solo 4 features simple front-panel access to both the original Vintage Gain Mode and the new, higher gain Orange Glow mode. With Orange Glow active, your guitar tone becomes more expressive and overdriven with pure tube saturation without relying on clipping diodes, often associated with fuzzy and harsh distortion effects.

Built on a 6V6 output tube platform, the updated Dream Solo 3 amplifier is now shipping with a completely re-imagined design. The redefined ’59 AC30-voice unit has been updated in every way including a new preamp, power amp, and power supply to deliver more touch-sensitivity, chime and growl than ever before from a 6V6 based amplifier. Typical AC30-voiced amplifiers rely on EL84 output tubes, a tube well known for it’s glassy mid-range edge and compression. The EL84 is also known to be a somewhat finicky tube too as they are often the source of noise issues due to microphonics as well as operational issues and instabilities associated with high heat. We chose the 6V6 to solve these problems and the updated Dream Solo 3 delivers all the rich tone, chime and creamy compression you’d expect from an AC30-voiced amp without the hassle of EL84s.

Both models feature an enhanced HybridMASTER™ functionality that expands the range of volume attenuation so that even bedroom jam sessions are more fun and inspiring without disturbing the neighbors.

The Dream Solo Series comprises of four single-channel all tube guitar amplifiers featuring 3RD POWER’s sonic refinements of classic British and American amplifiers. Dream Solos are available either as a 112 combo amplifier and as a amp head only. All models feature 3RD POWER’s patent-pending HybridMASTER volume management technology. The combo version features 3RD POWER’s proprietary FlexCAB™ speaker chamber technology for a refined frequency response and wider sound dispersion.

Even with all of these design enhancements, Dream Solo pricing will remain steady at $1699 for the head version, $1999 for a 112 combo loaded with an Eminence Legend speaker.
