Attic

The world of the electric guitar is rich with ordinary legends, stories of found treasures, instruments from the last century, now iconic, that were put away, forgotten, then rediscovered by chance a few generations later. The name "Attic" that we have given to our amp, is inspired by these old musical instruments, with a particular destiny, found after having been sheltered for decades. The Attic is an amp designed to span time and musical genres.

The Attic is a tube amp of modern design, with vintage sounds, designed and assembled in France, from start to finish by our care. The best components are used.

It offers a very wide range of sounds and easy to use and efficient controls. All this with a size and power ideal to play at home, in studio, rehearsal, or even on stage with the appropriate cover. It's like having several amps in one.

We've made the Attic sound as good at low volume as it does at high volume. You can plug your favorite effects into the instrument input or into the active effects loop on top, which is specially calibrated for pedals.
The Attic also features an optional spring reverb.

The power amp part of the Attic is a single ended class A design, which favors the even harmonics that are responsible for the "warm" sound of the tubes. We chose to use a 6CA7 tube in power. This tube combines the punch of an EL34 with the more balanced EQ of a 6L6.

As far as the controls are concerned, we have a pre-gain section consisting of a potentiometer: Drive, which adjusts the gain level of the preamp and allows us to obtain clear, crunchy or lead sounds. The three position switch called Tilt regulates the bass / treble balance in pre-gain and thus has an influence on the sound textures and the more or less precise character of the amp.

The EQ section consists of two potentiometers and two two-position switches. The Focus control reduces the bass and favors the upper midrange. The Sheen knob adjusts treble and presence. The Bold switch boosts the bass and low midrange while magnifying the sound. The Punch switch boosts the upper midrange. These settings allow the guitarist to easily find his place in a band's mix or to have a full and spacious sound.
