启示录可能是许多玩家的陌生品牌名称，但是设计师艾伦·恩特维斯（Alan Entwistle）的后室存在总是很好。真实的形式，他的最新设计融合了熟悉的功能和手指的好主意：为什么以前没有人想到这一点？
While TTX-64’s body shape brings to mind a Maton guitar, essentially this instrument riffs on the Tele concept: bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard, ashtray bridge with through-body stringing, a control layout featuring a master tone, volume control and a three-way pickup selector. However, when it comes to pickups, the TTX-64 sets off in a very different and interesting direction, for rather than offering the familiar cocktail of single-coil sounds, it has a hotrails-style humbucker situated at the bridge and a mini-humbucker at the neck.
凭借其窄线设计，桥梁的拾音器表达了与单个线圈相关的明亮，高端的清晰度，但具有增强的输出和降噪特征。迷你猎人的历史相当复杂。它们通常与爵士吉他有关，还出现在许多吉布森·莱斯·保罗（Gibson Les Paul）和epiphone模特中。从广义上讲，它们比PAF具有更干净，更明亮的音调，但具有更丰富，更丰富，更中性的声音。
开箱即用的TTX-64感觉就像是一把坚实的实用吉他。它在皮带上很好地平衡，但是坐着时膝盖有点尴尬。下半身的切割位置很远，因此仪器稍有尾巴。没有胸腔倒角或Droptop曲线的平板式al木体具有同时熟悉，迷人且稍微不舒服的老式角度。
The neck is made from a surprisingly nice-looking piece of maple and appears to have been cut from a single piece of timber, as there are no apparent joints. Finished in a slick gloss finish, its slim profile feels quite ’70s to the touch. The fretboard wood looks to be of an equally high standard, but there is some scalloping around frets 17-19, which suggests some slightly rough or inexperienced finishing. The fret job is nice and even, though, and the presence of an edge binding and block markers adds a further touch of class. The tuners are Kluson-style repros.
Sounds
The Entwistle TLHX Hotrail is a very nice pickup with a distinctive sound all its own. Unlike some standard humbuckers the sound is much more focussed in the upper mids, and there’s plenty of top end clarity too. It’s a pickup that can easily handle clean melodic playing, and the simple chords sound promisingly full and well-articulated.
桥梁的拾音器本身具有异常强大的曲折，因此乡村风格的即兴演奏听起来很棒。吉他的结构非常牢固，振动得很好，因此在干净的声音中有很多自然的维持和真正的木材感。
切换到脖子拾音器提供了显着的角色转变。在这里，正是下部似乎获得了光泽，因此，拾音器声音的整体充实和温暖就是脱颖而出的。这是一种大型，爵士乐，几乎像格雷奇（Gretsch）一样的声音 - 大开眼界，根本不是人们会从这样的吉他中期望的东西。
As both pickups have quite strongly individual characteristics, the fact that the combination is equally distinct will come as no surprise. The result is not so much a smooth blend (the sort of sound you get when pickups of similar specification get mixed), it’s more of a merge where the individual characteristics are still clearly apparent. Hence we have a warm but perhaps slightly indistinct jazzy bass character with lively mids and a bright top end that isn’t piercing. It would be a very original tone for a guitar at any price, so the fact that a low-cost model can deliver a distinct signature sound like this is very good news for any player on a budget who doesn’t want to follow the usual style trends.
单个拾音器和双拾音器声音在超速驾驶时同样很好地工作，但是在这些条件下，这些条件的细微差别略有细微，稍微少一些。这不是批评；大多数人会希望某些性能特征，而TTX-64确实提供了。
At medium drive levels the bridge pickup delivers punky, choppy chords with plenty of clout and a great sense of definition, and you can wind the gain a little further for killer rock solo voices that really wail, or else back off the guitar’s volume control for well-defined electric blues. The tone control works very evenly throughout its entire range, adding another very useful level of manipulation.
Used in anger, the neck pickup has more of a Gibson-like brogue, and classic heavy rock riffs sound just dandy. Overdrive evens out the twin pickup voice, creating a wide-spectrum sound that fills the soundstage beautifully, giving an impression of largeness and an airiness that’s truly impressive… especially for the price.
判决
艾伦·恩特维斯特（Alan Entwistle）似乎是一个正在执行任务的人：提供出色的吉他，这些吉他提供了一些不同的东西，所有这些都以使人们微笑的价格。他花在中国工厂的监督生产的时间似乎正在获得回报。我们看到的每个启示似乎都会推动信封更加困难。
TTX-64玩得很有趣，听起来很棒。虽然在晦涩的吉他形状和最久的设计之一的工作之间进行了一种交叉，但拾音器的创新选择意味着这绝非克隆。这是一个扎实的表演者，可以应对任何不需要瓦米酒吧的音乐风格。这是一种乐器，初学者不会急于超越，而经验丰富的玩家会喜欢轻松的氛围，而且价格低于许多精品踏板的价格。
