Vahlbruch: KALUNA High Voltage Tube Drive - Strat Demo

http://www.vahlbruch-fx.com

Henning Vahlbruch very kindly contacted me recently to see if I'd be interested in trying out his gear. Of course I would! And my first experience with this hand-made German brand does not disappoint. The Kaluna is a dual triode tube circuit based around a 12AX7 at 250v. It has all of the characteristics and dynamics of a tube amp, something like a JCM800 or similar. The 3-band tone controls are +/- 12dB and come after the tube preamp section so they affect gain and volume too - in a good way!

This video is based around an Eric Johnson Stratocaster and a '65 Deluxe Reverb (model: Axe-FX III). A second video based on a JTM45 and Charvel HH can be seen at: https://youtu.be/pDwM1w4AZjc
