ProGuitar Presents: The Gladius AVT 18 Guitar Amplifier

The AVT 18 is based on the famous and rare 18 watt Mini-Bluesbraker combo from 1965. The AVT 18 is hand-built and point to point wired on paxolin-boards & vintage turrets with aluminium block-ends in full aluminium chassis. Brian Wallace handwired transformers are custom made exclusively for Gladius to the original Radiospares specifications. For studio use or at home you can switch the power transformer down to 100mW without loosing tone like power attenuators do. Thomas Blug played his '61 Strat hooked up with a Dummy-Coli w/2 original pickups and a Kloppmann middle PU straight wired. NO pedals or other effects were used. FatsoFlex cable direct into amp. Recorded with a 1x12" Gladius Mini Stack thru a 60s SM 57 made in USA.
