Features and functionality

  • The Blue Angel features a single volume knob placed early in the preamp, resulting in increased preamp gain as volume increases, similar to a classic Plexi amp.

    Source
  • Unlike typical Dual Rectifiers, the Blue Angel's two rectifiers are used differently, with solid state diodes powering preamp tubes and a tube rectifier for the reverb and power amp.

    Source
  • The Blue Angel has an exceptional parallel effects loop, allowing for preamp bypass and direct power tube driving, improving pedal integration.

    Source
  • The amp lacks a master volume, making it less suitable for those needing high headroom like a Fender Twin Reverb.

  • Owners highlight the Blue Angel's reverb as one of the best out of any combo amp, with a recommended swap to a 12AT7 in V2 for less noise.

    Source
