Cornell Romany Plus

The Cornell-Romany and Cornell-Romany Plus amplifiers employ this classic output design by not having gain or master volume controls, only the output valve is involved in the distortion sound. The drawback with this design is that the distortion sound is only achieved at maximum output, and at 10 watts the sound is enough to penetrate walls and upset neighbours. To overcome this we have a unique power reduction design that reduces the output over 3 levels; the maximum of 10 watts is reduced to around 2 watts, (you will be surprised at just how loud this is), although there is little clean head room when wound up. Even so, it will still drown out the television, and for this reason we have added a further reduction to around 1/4 watt. These 3 settings will allow you to play from a considerably distorted sound to a clean 10 watts, that is more than enough head room to accompany an accoustic piano, for example.

10 watts, switches to 2 watts and 1/4 watt, single-ended Class A. Class A. Valve Line-up: 2 x 12AX7; 1 x 12AT7; 1 x 6L6GT
