[NAMM] 3rd Power introduces Citizen Gain

Operating on a pair of EL34 power tubes, the Citizen Gain is defined as a “higher-gain” (note the extra “r”) tube amplifier, reportedly “capable of sounding and feeling like a 100W high-gain beast but at volume levels associated with 1 watt and up to 40 watts” (according to 3rd Power) thanks to the manufacturer’s own HybridMASTER volume management circuitry.

Features:

• Handwired, point to point turret board construction
• Patented HybridMASTER volume management
• 9 selectable EQ and Preamp response modes
• All custom Mercury Magnetics transformers
• Internal operating voltages up to 500V DC for lightning-quick pick response
• All tube pedal optimized FX loop
• Accutronics studio-quality dual mode spring reverb (SR Model only)
• Dual JJ E34L output tubes, 5 or 6 12AX7 preamp tubes (depending on model)
• Custom tolex options available through our custom shop

The Citizen Gain is available in the following configurations:

• Citizen Gain: Compact head (no reverb, 18" × 10" × 9.33", weighs 24.5 lbs).
• Citizen Gain SR: Standard head (dual mode reverb, 24” wide, weighs 31.5 lbs).
