Designed as a tribute to Ken Fischer from Trainwreck Circuits, The Atlantic 4.0 is a high gain, non-master volume amplifier that allows the player to take the sound from pristine clean to over-the-top overdrive with a twist of the guitar’s volume knob.

To make the Atlantic 4.0 even more versatile, it offers switch-able 15W Class A, 30W Class A, 25W Class A and 50W Class A/B operation which allows the guitarist to adjust the power and feel of the amplifier to suit any musical setting.

• Independent Normal/Bright, Single Coil/Humbucker, Thin/Thick, Low Gain/High Gain, Presence On/Off switches

Jackson Ampworks is also announcing the release of their first bass amp, The Behemoth.

With its two channels, the Behemoth delivers all of the classic B-15N and SVT amplifier tones in a small, powerful and portable package. It is the only bass amp anywhere that offers switchable power output of either 30W Class A/B, 60W Class A/B or 120W Class A/B using 6L6 output tubes. This adjustable power feature allows the player to tailor the amps response to any given musical setting.

Channel 1 of the Behemoth is the Vintage Channel and is based on the 8-pin 6SL7 preamp tube. This preamp tube, known for it’s warmth and wide frequency response is where Channel 1 gets its Vintage 1960’s Motown and West Coast tones.

Channel 2 of the Behemoth is the more Modern Channel and is based on the 9-pin 12AX7 preamp tube. This channel, which is modeled after a simplified version of the SVT, is higher gain and punchier than Channel 1, and is better suited for Rock tones and musical styles that demand crisp tight bass tones. In addition to this, Channels 1 and 2 can be blended together to create a combination of new tones.

Features:
• 30/60/120W Power Modes • Gain, Volume, Treble and Bass Controls (Each Channel)
