Built for your pedalboard

The Blue Sky gives your pedals a warm, clean 6L6 foundation. Its single, very clean channel offers fat cleans and generous headroom while responding to your playing dynamics and retaining the amp’s own character.

There is no effects loop. Your delay, reverb and modulation pedals go straight into the front input. Full tube-driven spring reverb adds a lush finish, and the straightforward controls keep dialing in your sound simple.

Bedroom to big stage

SVC, Seamless Volume Control, takes the Blue Sky from 0.1 watt bedroom levels to 35 watt stage levels. It preserves your tone at lower volumes without a power soak.

The control panel has Gain and SVC Volume attenuation, Bass, Mid and Treble controls, plus Reverb and Presence.

Power and connections

The Blue Sky delivers 35 Watts R.M.S. from 2x TAD 6L6GCM-STR REDBASE TAD PREMIUM Selected power tubes. The preamp uses 2x12AT7 + 2x12AX7 tubes.

Speaker output options are 4, 8 and 16 Ohm, or 2x16 and 2x8 Ohm.
