两摇滚伯恩赛德评论

With designer Bill Krinard back on board at Two-Rock, this latest offering promises vintage and modern tweed voicings in one amp.

由于其完美无瑕的建造质量和令人惊叹的大瓶黑脸色调的诠释,两架岩石放大器已成为舞台和制片厂的常规景象。但是,伯恩赛德有些不同,因为它从吉他放大器演化的时间表中汲取灵感,并试图从Fender的经典和极大的Tweed时代发出新的音调。

Burnside

广告

Two-Rock amps have always won plaudits for the quality of their internals but for our money, the Burnside is the company’s best-looking amplifier to date. With an en vogue black lacquered tweed cabinet and a wheat-coloured woven grille cloth, plus a stylish metal nameplate adorning the front, this amp looks really smart – and of course, it’s all flawlessly finished.

Available in combo and head formats, the Burnside’s front panel provides easy access and on the back panel you’ll find passive effects loop connections and three speaker outputs. This combo has a Warehouse WGS G12C speaker and its 75W power handling is copes easily with the Burnside’s 18W 6V6 powered output.
It’s billed as Two-Rock’s version of the wide panel tweed circuit but no mention is made of a specific tweed amplifier. With treble, bass and presence controls we ventured a 5E4 Super with the GZ34 rectifier beefing up the power supply and Two-Rock confirmed this.

由于Burnside以固定偏置模式运行,因此可以轻松访问底盘外部的测量点和偏置电位器。

内部电路主要安装在带有少量点对点接线的孔眼板上。大多数电阻是碳补充,信号电容器包括Sprague Orange Drops和Mallory 150s。

In Use
If, like this reviewer, you’re used to using tweed amps with three controls – and you only ever really use two of them – the provision of separate treble and bass controls is a little disorienting at first. You won’t be able to do the usual tone and volume balancing technique you’re familiar with, but the increased controls are actually very powerful once you get to know them.

As described, the Burnside covers vintage and modern flavours of tweed tone and you need to get to grips with the way the controls and bright switch assist you to access the full range of sounds.

Bright switches were a feature on various blackface Fender amps, but it was never a tweed thing. Although some of the later and bigger tweeds could deliver extended high frequency sheen, many low-and mid-powered tweeds tended to have slightly rolled-off treble. The Burnside’s bright switch gives you that extended treble, but things can get edgy and shrill if you don’t adjust volume and treble accordingly.

与各种Tweed Deluxe型号一样,Burnside的音量和高音控制之间也存在相互作用。因此,同时启动高音会增强声音并增加增益。随着明亮的开关接合,您可能会倾向于通过备份高音来使事物变甜,但是您需要增加音量以保持相同数量的驱动器。另一方面,明亮的开关使您可以在不增加增益的情况下亮着音调,因此从某种意义上说,您会获得亮度,而不会损害干净的净空。

凭借50年代后期的大盒子花呢和黑脸风格的电路(这也适用于许多放大器品牌,除了挡泥板之外),低音控制功能是塑造低端以保持定义并防止繁荣。伯恩赛德的低音控制的性能不同。

向后滚回三倍和存在,从低音上滚下来,然后摇动音量,然后获得一个甜美的小盒子,带有紧身,活泼的低音和完整的中距离。慢慢地抬高低音,增益急剧增加,主要局限于低音和低音中音。

这是一个美味的,类似角的磨碎的,仓库的扬声器以旧詹森永远无法做到的方式保持镇定。推动低音,随着超速驱动器延伸到中端,事情变得更加毛茸茸。

事情一直以这种方式继续,直到旋钮的最后一个转折,上层中间突然突然下降。这是一个神话般的环境,使我们的T风格的测试吉他听起来更像是在低弦上的男中音萨克斯管,而甜味的普通弦则毫不费力地转移到盛开的维持下。

该证书确定为50年代初的火灾,现在该探索Burnside更加细微和精致的一面了。这是一个可以做漂亮和闪闪发光的东西的放大器,尽管我们不能完全钉住老式花呢超级或豪华的空灵,漂浮的谐波。

Thinking it might be attributable to the ceramic magnet speaker we try running the Burnside through a Celestion Blue and a Fane A60 – both of which have alnico magnets. This reveals that the Burnside has no shortage of upper harmonics and that Two-Rock has chosen a speaker that matches the Burnside’s circuit and cabinet particularly well.

仓库柔和了否则可能会非常有侵略性的高度,并提供了有趣的上段咬合,可以很好地切割混合物。然而,仓库的134Hz共振频率使它处于半决赛和半固体的危险区域,并且很难避免使用大型Gretsches和ES-330等吉他。

Tweed玩家还将注意到缺乏扬声器压缩和分手与强大的电源结合在一起。结果不太可能是“老式”的敏感质量,但是对许多人来说,更坚定,更强大的反应将是积极的。两摇滚确认您可以将GZ34更改为5U4、5Y3或5V4,以获得更柔和的感觉。尝试了这三个,5V4或5U4提供了更多的老式触摸动力学和更甜蜜的高音响应,而不会失去低音的凝聚力,但是5Y3是有点柔软的。

We find the Burnside’s stock circuit is oriented a little on the bright side, which means that the treble and presence controls mostly end up being used for cuts rather than boosts. The volume control’s hair-trigger contour makes it tricky to fine-tune the required amount of overdrive, however this is somewhat related to the tone control settings.

Two-Rock is to be commended for adding a modern twist to the tweed Super format and it’s good to know that the Burnside can deliver old-school tones, too.
