General description of the Brighton seriesIt all started with the Brighton series amplifiers at Meyer Musical Instruments in the year 2006. The concept of the Brighton series is build on a construction which has a direct and extremely dynamic response, where only those components are used that really contribute to the tone. All Brighton series amp feature a 2 channel set-up, only sharing the power section. The first channel has a volume and tone control, where the second channel is operated by a volume, treble and bass control. Both channels have a high and low sensitive input, which give you the ability to adapt the guitar output strength to the sensitivity of the amplifier. Tube rectifiersAll amplifiers of the Brighton series feature tube rectifiers, a EZ81 for the Brighton 14, a 5Y3 for the Brighton 20 and a GZ34 for the Brighton 45, simply because we know it is the best for rectification of the power supply and hence tone. |
