Bray 4550 Deluxe

Amp head captures of my David Bray 4550 Deluxe from 2011 though a Suhr reactive loadbox. A superior version of the famed vintage British 50 watt plexi, custom voiced to your needs, playing style, and existing gear. The Bray 4550 deluxe includes: -Completely hand-wired, hand-soldered Point-To-Point turret board and components -Precision tight-wound tube filament wiring design to eliminate AC filament hum -Bray spec'd custom-wound transformers by Heyboer -Gold color 16 gauge zinc-plated steel chassis -3 ECC83 preamp tubes, 2 EL34 output tubes, 1 GZ34 rectifier tube -3-way Standby Switch lets you choose between Tube and Solid State Rectifier, and is Bias-Compensated -Output Level “Wife Knob” control lets you dial down the volume to whisper levels without losing gain or overdrive -Plexi Style Channel 1 Bright and Channel 2 Dark channels allow you to mix each one into your sound how you want without the use of a separate jumper cable -Plus Mode places the channels from parallel into series (as well as a few tonal changes), allowing even higher gain sounds. -Dual Output Level “Wife Knobs” and included LED footswitch allows switching to a louder volume level for solos, as well as keeping your volume level loud when turning down your guitar's volume level for a clean sound -Harmonic Switch push/pull switch added to the Treble Control, adding harmonics and upper mids when pulled out. I enjoy this with guitars that have somewhat scooped pickups such as vintage PAF styles. -Vintage/Hot Switch push/pull switch added to the Midrange Control, allowing a slightly more aggressive tone when pulled out, and a mellower sound when pushed in. Useful when in Plus Mode, push it in to take a slight edge off, as well as for very clean sounds. -Channel 1 Bright Switch added to the Channel 1 Volume Control, adding high frequencies when pulled out. Although bypassed when the volume control is all the way up, it is useful for Classic Rock sounds when the Channel 1 Volume is set around 6. Pulled out, it adds just a bit of “clang” to bring you out of the mix.
