They also sound killer in the new 25-watt Dirty Sink 1x12 combo. It features British-style controls—gain, volume, bass, mid, treble, and presence—plus an easily accessible top-panel effects loop and the company’s proprietary hybrid master volume, which yields cranked-amp tone and dynamics even at whisper-quiet volumes.
