The BL50 is an improved and stripped down version of mid-1960's black panel style American tone crossed with an output section inspired by the 70's HD models. With its 50 watts of power, this amp is driven by 6CA7 output tubes and provides loads of headroom and shimmer. Unique to the Judge BL25 and BL50, you can achieve a warm scooped midrange when the mid is turned down and a dirtier, flatter, more "tweed" sound with the mid control is turned up. The BL line has a touch of fat tube-driven breakup when pushed. The built-in tube driven reverb adds depth and character, providing lush ambiance, from a little to a whole lot of surfy wash. Available in many different speaker configurations or as a head.
(The BL40 is the previous generation of this circuit using a slightly different power supply, transformers, and output tube set.)
