The JOAT 30RT+ Amplifier

The JOAT 30RT+ Amplifier head with Reverb & Tremolo and Headroom Limit

Description

 The JOAT 30RT+: Jack Of All Tone/30 Watts/Reverb & Tremolo/with Headroom adjust. 6V6 and EL84 blended outputs

The next step up in power from our flagship 20RT/RT+ with a pair of 6v6’s blended together with the EL84 output stage. The 30RT+ has increased headroom over the 20 plus an added warmth from the 6V6’s.  The RT+ design includes an additional 12AU7 drive stage in front of the power tubes. The added drive stage isn’t a “gain” stage per se, but is configured to drive the outputs to 30, or about 20 watts determined by the front panel HR (HEADROOM) switch.  

 

 

Features

  • INPUT TWO: to a Humbucker, but you can run whatever you want into either one.

“Rich musical harmonics in a handcrafted amp that’s made BY a guitar player!!! What more could you want.”

Keith Urban

Amp and cab arrived safely and the packing was exquisite! Set it up and plugged in......no words really. Even with the speakers not played in
it sounds incredible, fits me like a glove. Looks beautiful as well. Can't thank you enough for taking the time and care to build the amp. You've made a Scotsman very happy!
Sincere thanks Todd.
