Hotwire's patent pending Mode Switching technology electronically rewires the entire analog circuit path, changing the character of its preamp and power amp sections and re-voicing the speaker to actualize the recreation of classic (and through its extensive editing options, customized) amplification. Because Mode Switching physically changes the fundamental analog circuitry of the amp itself, each of Hotwire's twelve basic Modes is inspiring and real—from the expressive pluck and growl of Class A, '60s era classic tube combos, to the power and grit of Class AB American monsters. In between, you'll find everything from sparkling hi-fi to dynamic crunch tones, all responding to the slightest nuance of the player's touch. Hotwire delivers the rich body and natural tone demanded by the finest electric and acoustic instruments.
