L12X is an analogue replica inspired by the Marshall® Lead 12TM solid state amplifier from the late 1980s.
The original head was an op-amp-based amplifier: when compared to tubes or FET/JFET transistors, the op-amp can offer a massive amount of gain with little to no distortion. The amplified signal, however, is clipped when it reaches the voltage used to power the op-amp. Marshall engineers took use of this to create a great-sounding amplifier with few components.
This small solid state head can drive cabinets up to 412 and easily sounds like a JCMTM. We tweaked the original circuit by adding a Contour control (for a scooped tone) and an extra Boost overdrive.
