Mahoney Guitar Gear Orchestrator Amp
The Orchestrator amp is based on a 1950's style Mullard push-pull circuit with slight modifications using vintage Germanium transistors .... AC125 and AC126 on the front end and two AC128's on the output side. It also features both driver and output transformers that mimic the sound we are familiar with. The speaker box contains a custom made Weber 6.5" 4 ohm twin cone driver speaker. The amp is powered by a standard size 9 volt battery. Its power output is approx 1 watt.
When using the Orchestrator in conjunction with a silicon booster, notes seem to bloom out, and the sustain is effortless. Once your guitar starts singing, it has a tendency to glide into rich and warm harmonic overtones.
This little gem is geared for recording. We recommend for the ultimate tone using Tri-Sonic style pickups and wiring them for series switching with phase reversal. Our favorite brand of pickups is the Adeson versions. This UK based company has the original Burns pickup winding machines and they are familiar with the tone we all seek to achieve.
