About the Jet City PicoValve Guitar Amplifier Head Design by THD (5 Watts)
From THD Electronics and designer Andy Marshall, the Jet City PicoValve is an incredibly compact, low-wattage tonal monster. Featuring dual 12AX7 preamp and a single 6L6 power tubes, the PicoValve guitar amplifier head provides touch-sensitive and punchy cleans up to beefy, heavy Rock tones. Get the tone you want for recording or live without the unnecessary volume required to light your tubes with 50-100 watt heads. The PicoValve's output power is selectable from 5 to 2.5 watts to get just the right amount of saturation out of your amp.
Jet City PicoValve Guitar Amplifier Head Design by THD (5 Watts) Reviews
This product provides a strident high-gain noise without any power whatever behind it. It sounds terrible. In a side-by-side comparison with a Vox 4 watt mini ( both using the excellent 12-inch Eminence Jet City speakers), the Picovalve could not provide as much sound pressure (volume). The little Vox, in addition, has an excellent high-gain sound whereas the Picovalve sounds like what it is, a poorly-designed vocational school apparatus constructed when the teacher left the room. And the manufacturer steadfastly refuses to answer the question "How do you get a 6L6 17 watt tube in Class A operation (check the RCA Tube Manual) to provide only an advertised 5 watts and actually bias it to provide less volume than a 6BQ5 (EL84)? I am ticked off, especially since ZZounds hooked me for $26 return shipping & insurance whereas Musician's Friend is free.
