The 1974X is an authentic re-issue of the fabled model 1974 combo of the late sixties (1966-1968).  Just like the original, it boasts a point-to-point, handwired, tagboard circuit housed in an aluminum chassis, plus a valve-driven tremolo circuit. At the very heart of its simple but effective two channel design can be found six valves; three ECC83'S in the preamp, an EZ81 rectifier and a pair of cathode biased EL84's in the power stage. As the output and mains transformers are vital components in any amplifier as they influence performance, sound and feel, we worked extremely closely with our associates at Dagnall in order to duplicate the original, "off-the-shelf" transformers in all areas.
