Or, The Fucking Fucker.</p>
<p>The name should give you a pretty good idea what it sounds like. Audiotechnews named his amp Demon Fucker. It sounds like it.</p>
<p>The name on the G-1000 suggests it might give Demon Fucker a good run for its money.</p>
<p>It contains 100% new-old-stock (NOS) tubes. Apparently tubes  never seen in guitar amps.</p>
<blockquote><p>The G-1000 consists of two totally independent amplifiers, with very different preamp sections. One channel is called the HAPPY channel. The other is called the ANGRY channel.</p>
<p>For damn good reason. One sucks your face, the other gnaws your foreskin off.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>The HAPPY channel is a more-or-less conventional instrument amp. It has plenty of gain and distortion (if desired), it has a conventional guitar-amp tone control section, and it has reverb. Everything else about it is DEVIANT. It has a PHASE control, which allows mixing of normal and inverted signals—or it may be adjusted to cancel out the original signal and pass only the distortion products&#8230;.and, it&#8217;s all made of unusual tubes. Mostly pentodes, ha ha ha.</p>
<p>The ANGRY channel is well-named. It is designed for instability and raw, berserk distortion effects. It, too, has typical guitar-amp tone controls and reverb. It uses a 6BN6 and two remote-cutoff pentodes. Ask your mother what those are. She&#8217;s already tasted your foreskin anyway.</p></blockquote>
<p> <img src='http://audiotechnews.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<blockquote><p>The output tubes are 6BK5s. Obscure, yes, but great and forgotten. Phase inversion is done with 6GU7s. Various types are used throughout the preamp stages: 6AU6, 6BJ6, 6CB6, 6BN6, 5BQ7, 6AK5, and others. No 12AX7s, of ANY brand. How many tubes? TWENTY-THREE tubes in total. Including eight 6BK5 outputs. It might be the most complex tube guitar amp available today&#8230;.</p></blockquote>

<blockquote><p>No, you moron, it&#8217;s not available in combo form. Head only.</p></blockquote>
