Alessandro 1/2AZZ Amplifiers
The Alessandro 1/2AZZ line of High-Quality amplifiers are based on the Dumble line of amplifiers. When I asked George Alessandro what his intentions were when building this amp he repleid, "It answers what players want from their Dumble amps, without giving up vintage style musicality." With plenty of Top and Bottom, that makes for a powerful, clear sounding amp.
The 1/2AZZ is currently being showcased on the road by Derek Trucks. The control layout consists of:
- Volume
- Treble
- Middle
- Bass
- Reverb
- Speed
