SHIVA

With a new look, added features and newly voiced channels the 20th Anniversary Shiva is the most versatile yet!

Featuring a pair of KT88's the amp is rated at 90 watts.

The clean channel has an entire new boost circuit with it's separate gain stage which unlike the "tone stack bypass" boost on the other Shiva models keeps the tone controls active all the time. With the boost engaged it's extra gain stage lets you dial well into Plexi territory.

The gain channel has overall more gain with a more refined voice on tap. Two push button switches have been added to further shape the tone. The Shift button will shift the EQ, pushed in you get a more "blackface" type of tone, less mids softer feel. One could say it will please the Dumble favoring players. The Mode button if pushed in will give you a more aggressive in your face feel.
A power amp dampening control was added on the back panel. This control is labeled Excursion and is great to dial in a full sound at low volumes or to adjust the right balanced bass to a cabinet and room size. Be carefully as this can add massive bottom to your sound which might overpower other frequencies and cover up an overall balanced sound. Best to keep low at higher volumes.

Stay tuned sound clips coming soon!
