Onyx Plus

The Onyx Plus takes the specification of the Ruby and adds Tremolo and a solid state rectifier to produce a tighter response and bump up the maximum output power to 45 watts. The relatively simple feature set of the Onyx + makes getting great sounds a straightforward process. This amp excels at clean sounds breaking up smoothly when pushed.

Unlike many other designs where the tremolo modulates both the dry and reverb signals, the Tremolo in the Onyx Plus operates around the first valve stage, before the reverb.  This means the guitar signal is modulated by the tremolo first and then the reverb is applied to this signal allowing some very sophisticated tones to be produced.
