WARP T - <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />
4<br />
THE TONE<br />
21st century metal is all about detuned guitars,<br />
ponderous & ominous riffs, and big & bold effected<br />
clean sounds. No wonder that yesteryear’s<br />
amplification can’t cut it in this brave new<br />
world of sound.<br />
While the postfix “7” in the WARP 7 model name<br />
pointed to the amp’s penchant for our beloved<br />
electric guitar’s seventh bottom string, the “T” in<br />
WARP T stands for the awesome power of the<br />
tubes lurking within the head.<br />
Make no mistake; the WARP T is the ultimate<br />
tube-driven weapon in your nu metal arsenal.<br />
With the WARP T half-stack, you have satisfied<br />
your wish for more bottom end beef and all but<br />
inexhaustible high-gain reserves. Hearing is believing:<br />
Simply plug that tube head into your 4 x 12” cabinet<br />
and stand back.<br />
THE HEAD<br />
Sporting four 6L6 tubes, the head pumps into the<br />
cabinet a heavy helping of oomph, giving you<br />
punch unmatched in this class. You’ll revel in your<br />
newfound ability to cut through the din. Courtesy<br />
of mighty 120 watts blasting out of four 12” speakers,<br />
your nu metal riffs are sure to come across loud<br />
and proud. But even an opus played at warp<br />
speed soon becomes boring without a little tension<br />
and release to spice things up. The WARP T also<br />
delivers the kind of crisp, crystal-clear clean tone<br />
you need to heighten the musical drama and<br />
go from overtures of glassy, glossy arpeggios to<br />
infernal finales of paint-peeling fury.<br />
THE CABINET<br />
Somewhat larger and more stable than your<br />
ordinary 4x12” cab, this baby is built to deliver<br />
scooped mids and bowel-shaking low end.<br />
Featuring a special speaker combination of two<br />
Celestion Vintage 30s on top for crystal-clear<br />
sound and two Celestion Hot 100s on the bottom<br />
for pure bass bliss, this cab delivers archetypal<br />
nu metal tone. Shimmering with crisp top end<br />
and shaking with fat bottom end, this sound is<br />
unmatched by any other.<br />
