Komet 19, 1x12 Combo Röhrenverstärker - Neu

Original price €4,299

Brief statement:

In the boutique scene, this amplifier is considered an absolute hidden gem for a “creamy,” overtone-rich rock sound with fast response. Since these amplifiers are built in only small quantities, prices for a new unit fall in the high-end range. On the used market, they are correspondingly rare and retain their value extremely well. (The latter applies to nearly all Komet products.)

Komet 19, 1x12 combo (Product in black. Can be used as a standalone amplifier or with an additional, extremely powerful sound source)

Hand-wired boutique amplifier with EL84 power stage

In the spirit of Trainwreck founder Ken Fisher, who passed away in 2006, the compact Komet 19 delivers the flexible and powerful sound with the characteristic touch responsiveness of its big brother. Built in the USA using point-to-point construction, this agile single-channel amp features a classic 12AX7 preamp and dual EL84 power tubes, delivering a substantial 19 watts of power and laying claim to a permanent spot in the rehearsal room and on stage. Dynamic cleans right through to steamy crunch sounds from fully driven tubes are the speciality of this straightforward amplifier, whose diverse and organic tones are accessible via the guitar’s volume control.

Komet Amplification is proud to present its latest design: the Komet 19 Combo. The 19 is a touch-responsive and versatile amplifier. It is suitable for practically any guitar style, whether you use single-coil or humbucking pickups. This small amplifier covers a wide range of tones – from shimmering cleans and chime to blazing high-gain lead crunch sounds, all of which can be controlled via the guitar’s volume control. Practical, lightweight and portable. Powered by a pair of cathode-biased EL 84 / 6BQ5 output tubes. The preamp is equipped with two 12AX7 tubes. Meticulously assembled using only the best-sounding and most reliable components, with genuine point-to-point hand-wiring.

Volume, Saturation & Tone

As a classic single-channel amplifier, the Comet 19 utilises the fundamental parameters of traditional valve amplifiers and dispenses with a compressing master volume. Saturation and Tone determine the incoming signal level and the amplifier’s mid-range tonal spectrum, whilst the Volume control sets the overall output level of the power stage. Three positions on the Bright switch are available for further adjustment of the treble. All controls on the Comet 19 feature precise and durable 2-watt military-grade potentiometers.
