Kendrick BadAss Man, Tweed - $3,495 [SOLD]

ON HOLD: In the late 80’s people were using transistor stereo power amps and rack-mount guitar amplifiers! The 2410 was the first point-to-point all-tube guitar amp to hit the scene in over 15 years. It changed everything for the 90’s. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the 2410, Kendrick created a 100-piece limited edition 2410 BadAssMan amp. These are serialized from #B001 to #B100. There are many improvements over the original 2410 such as:

• 175 year-old, unbelievably resonant antique pine cabinet covered in two-tone lacquered tweed (nico-tweed with brown pin-stripe)

• Beautiful, baked-epoxy, gold metalflake powder-coat faceplate with black epoxy lettering

• All the standard controls found on the original 2410 (and the original 5F6A Bassman), plus Reverb! Tube/spring reverb ala Twin Reverb circuitry

• 5AR4 Rectifier with special “invincible” circuitry. It will never go down during a performance.

• Lead and Clean channel with better voicing. The Clean channel offers three-dimensional clean tones without scooping the mids. The Lead Channel gives up complex lead tones that rival cellos playing in unison.

• Two 6L6, four 12AX7 and one 12AT7 vacuum tube

• Kendrick Quik Bias system with external pinjacks (like Gerald Weber Signature amp), so you can set the bias of your tubes in about 1 minute using only a digital voltmeter.

• Optional built-in Power Attenuator to bring the wattage from 40 watts to 10 watts or 2.6 watts.

Some of the features are the same as the original 2410:

• Four 10” Blackframe speakers made from NOS Donal Kapi cones (original supplier for Jensen)

• Custom-made cloth-covered wire, Custom-made epoxy glass component board, and custom-made paper-bobbin transformers

• 100% Point-to-Point handwired construction. The circuitry features an improved layout - all of the components are cleverly laid out with a minimum of hook-up wire (similar to the Gerald Weber Signature amp). This results in a more stable amp tone that sounds better; perfect for blues, country, rock-a-billy, jazz, rock, or fusion. In addition, there are three inputs: one for the lead channel, one for the clean channel and one labeled BOTH. The BOTH input allows you to blend both channels together to get those multi-amp, Stevie Ray Vaughan tones. You can actually blend the lead and clean channel!
