► INTRODUCTION

The AMT Tube Cake Amplifier Series pedals were designed to emulate the warm, tight, punchy sound of tube power amplifiers; but without the drawbacks such as high cost, large size, heavyweight, and the need for periodic expensive tube replacement.

Save hundreds and thousands of dollars, and compact your rig with one of the Tube Cake pedal power amplifiers.

These are amazing, small, compact units that will find a spot directly on your pedalboard. Also, your dream of running stereo heads can now be a reality at a fraction of the cost. Many guitarists are running dual Tube Cakes as their main rig.

The most prominent features which make the sound of tube amplifiers so popular have been thoroughly implemented into the design of the Tube Cake series by the engineers here at AMT.

► ABOUT THE PRODUCT

AMT Tube Cake 3 Watt (TC-3) version — is perfect for those players looking for a more powerful amplifier than the TC-1.

Cleaner drive at lower volumes. A favorite with our hard rock and metal guys! Works as a perfect combination with all the AMT preamps.

While creating a lightweight and compact Tube Cake TC-3 amplifier, AMT focused primarily on implementing the basic features of a tube amp using semiconductor component base. However, without the drawbacks such as high cost, large size and weight, and the need for periodic tube replacement (up to 2 times per year).

FEATURES

The most prominent features, which make the sound of tube amplifiers so peculiar, have been thoroughly implemented by the engineers of the company in the Tube Cake TC-3.

  • The output impedance of the Tube Cake TC-3 is comparable with the load. Such an output resistance in combination with the impedance of a frequency-dependent guitar speaker shapes the «correct» guitar amplifier frequency response.
  • The Tube Cake TC-3 has a smooth transition from the linear mode to chopping with the domination of low serial number harmonics in the spectrum.
  • Despite its relatively low power, the Tube Cake TC-3 has a large dynamic range, since the chopping, like in fully powered tube amps, is not so noticeable.

Such an amplifier can be used in cases where great volume is not necessary, but you need a specific extra load, peculiar to vacuum tube amplifier: for home practicing, guitar recording at home and playing in small clubs.

The Tube Cake TC-3 can fulfill this task with nice sound loading and keeping it natural.

► CONTROLS

  • VOLUME controls the overall DB sound level output of the amplifier.
  • PRESENCE adjusts the amount of «clarity» or «attack» of the amplifier.
  • DEPTH adjusts the amount of low-frequency resonance of the amplifier.

 IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE POWER SUPPLY 

For powering the AMT devices always use specialized power supplies originally designed for guitar pedals & gear meeting the following basic requirements:

Please, don't try to use for these purposes the usual cheapest power supply from household appliances and electronics, like from your laptop, Wi-Fi router, etc.! Such power supplies have a reverse polarity compared to AMT devices, so it won't work! Even if you're «the guy was born with a soldering iron in the hand» and almost ready to change a polarity of such power supply — we strongly not recommend you do that!

Those kinds of power supplies are not intended for using with the guitar gear. Otherwise, you'll get a problematic very noisy guitar sound full of «hum», «cheep», and other sound «effects»!
