Fallen Angel Design Philosophy
Fallen Angel 180 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 40 DSP and 60 DSP Combos,
and 60 DSP Head:
The Fallen Angel 40 DSP and 60 DSP combos
(and 60 DSP 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.
