eubassix Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Carlsbro Rebel: 65-watt amp that uses Mos-fet technology, which was the high-tec way to go with amps in the late 80’s and early 90’s. The amp itself is an average sized combo with one 12 inch speaker. It’s covered in a particularly attractive light smoky grey colour tolex. The control panel is on the front face and comprises high and low inputs, a single clean channel gain, FX out and return inputs, overdrive (which pulls out to boost the level of drive), distortion gain (which pulls out to smooth the frequencies), pre set EQ button, bass, middle, treble, reverb, footswitch input, direct injection input (allows direct slaving without distortion) and master volume. On the rear panel there is an input for headphones and twin outputs to drive external speakers. Overall the amp is quite well equipped. It also lights up nicely when in use. It gives a good solid sound in its own right and is, overall, a good & reliable practice/gigging amp. Sounds better than most of the hybrid and other solid state amps of the same value/era. The clean channel gives a lot of headroom before breaking up. The distortion channel can be pushed loud and hard - great for metal and heavy rock. The amp reacts well to FX when played through the loop. It’s in remarkable condition for its age and seems to have had only home-use. Also includes the original Carlsbro footswitch ! sold Edited February 21, 2011 by eubassix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
