Fallen Angel Design Philosophy
Fallen Angel 180w All Tube Head:
This amplifier helps the professional live gigging guitarist get a saturated and singing soloing voice that still
retains the big bottom end punch required by so many of today's music styles. A fat bottom end requires a
lot of power from the output stage to deliver the punch needed for muted notes and chords.The Fallen
Angel, with 180 Watts of raw power derived from 6 x EL34 output tubes, does the business.
180 Watts may at first sound excessive for a guitar amplifier but music styles have changed and amplifiers
need to adapt accordingly.This is even more relevant when you consider how many players now use 7
string guitars. Most amplifiers wimp out when presented with 7 strings of chugging power chords because
their output stage can't deliver.
With many tube amplifiers you only get the best solo voice when the output stage is close to working flat
out.Then it's often too loud - so some kind of power soak device is used to get this sound at lower
volumes and you lose the power you require for chords.With the Fallen Angel 180, the solo voice
character comes from the carefully designed all tube pre-amp so you don't have run it flat out for the best
tone. However, if you do crank it up to the max, our 6 tube output stage will saturate with the best of
them so be warned, it will be deafening!
Fat bottom end tone also comes from the pre-amp and with the Fallen Angel 180, a huge 180 RMS Watts
of output power is delivered to the speaker stack.You'll get an idea of the power required for different
styles if you watch the VU meter while playing - it monitors the output power being used and you will
notice on muted chords with a fat chunky bottom end whack that it will be peaking quite high showing
that massive amounts of power are required for this sound.With the same settings try a screaming solo
line and you will see the power drop right back.This demonstrates exactly what we are saying - that old
style amps are great for screaming solo lines but give up on modern 7 string fat chords.
The CLEAN channel allows you to switch instantly from huge body crunching chords and screaming solo
leads to crisp and sparkling arpeggio chords that ring out with unbelievable clarity.The dual effects loops
also help here, allowing you to set up separate effects for each channel. So you can (for instance) have a
beautiful clean sound with a swirling chorus on Channel 1, and a soaring solo voice with lashings of delay
on Channel 2 - then instantly switch between the two. Either or both effects loops can be assigned to
either or both channels.
Also supplied with the Head is a dedicated 4-way footswitch on a single jack lead (no more fiddling with
multi-way connectors). LED indication on the footswitch itself is provided so you always know the current
status without having to look at the amplifier. Footswitch provides control for Channel 1/Channel 2,
Channel 2 Boost, Master 1/Master 2 and Loop In/Out.
Fallen Angel 40w and 60w Combos and 60w Head:
The Fallen Angel 40 and 60 combo (and 60 head) amplifiers are built on the same principles as the 180
Watt head and suit the same heavier guitar playing styles.They have been designed to produce the
maximum bottom end possible from an open back cabinet. For extended low end and maximum 'Punch' it
is recommended that they be used with a 4 x 12 closed back cabinet.
