Alessandro Hand-Wired 1/2AZZ
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."
The 1/2AZZ is currently being showcased on the road by Derek Trucks. It's got lots of clean head room that makes for a very powerful, clear sounding amp. The control layout consists of:
- Volume
- Treble
- Middle
- Bass
- Reverb
- Speed
- Presence
- Bright switch
- Stand-by switch
- On/Off switch
Overview
Alessandro’s AZZ series of amps are a relatively new offering from Alessandro High-End Products. The AZZ is designed and built for the discerning, professional musician. Drawing its tone and feel from the most significant amps of yesteryear, the AZZ seamlessly blends its vintage vibe in a form to be used with today’s modern pedalboards.
The AZZ delivers 50 watts with two 5881 power tubes or 90 watts with four 5881s. It features a Lead channel with Volume, Treble, Middle, and Bass controls, as well as a Rhythm channel with identical controls, plus Reverb, Speed, and Intensity knobs. The channels are voiced to be layered together, so you can utilize the Rhythm channel full time and then switch on the Lead channel to bring all your pedals and effects on line. This keeps the Rhythm signal path free of tone sucking pedals and cables, and the individual EQ and level controls allow for fine-tuning to get the voices to blend and layer musically.
The AZZ series amps are custom-order only, and start at $12,500.
1/2AZZ 45/50-90/100 Watt
Head & 4x12 Cabinet
With 45/50 watt or 90/100 watt switchable output.
The 1/2AZZ can operate on Two or Four 6L6 tubes. Yes, you read that correctly. With a matched set of 6L6 tubes it can generate 45 watts of "Vintage Tone" and with the flick of the Higher Plate Voltage Switch (B+/B++ switch), jump to 50 watts for a faster, stronger tone. Install a matched quad of 6L6 tubes and you can push 90 watts and if that's not enough.... flick the Plate Voltage Switch for 100 watts of Fierce, HOT Tone.
