In this last installment Triad Improvisation Part 4. We will take a look at triads on the 6,5,4 strings of the guitar. Again we will use the major chord forms as a reference to the rest of the triads to keep things simple. The major form is the first chord in each example followed by augmented,minor then diminished just as in example 1,2,3.

The new Warp X two-channel head with 120 Watts of all-tube power, provides a clean channel and a Warp channel designed with dropped-D players looking for series distortion.

The effects loop may be assigned to channels on the fly, and the optional MIDI module lets players program all switching operations and execute them via a MIDI pedal. The Warp X stands out visually too - the Plexiglas front panel lights up red, affording a view of this amps eight tubes and facilitating handling on dark stages.

T-Rex has introduced new line of handmade, retro-styled tube amps and cabinets. The amps offers Class A operation with Jensen capacitors and hand-wound transformers, and are complemented with several matching cabinets. The new line starts off with the BigTone T45 Head. This amp pumps out 45 Watts of Class A power using EL84 power tubes. It is a single channel amp with controls for Reverb, Master, Cut, Gain, Bass, Middle and Treble. There is also a bright/normal input switch.

Offered in a choice of head or 2x12 combo formats, the hand crafted and assembled Bluesman Sixty from George Dennis offers two independent channels, each with their own volume and tone controls.  The amp's two channels are switchable via the included footswitch, which also provides control over the Accutronics reverb. While there are independent volume and tone controls, the reverb and presence are shared by both channels. Tone is provided by the four ECC83 preamp tubes and pair of 6L6 tubes in the power section. An effects loop is also included.
