Electar Tube 30 preset
Verified · 85/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.
The Electar Tube 30 was a 30-watt all-tube combo offering genuine tube amplification at a budget price point under the Epiphone Electar name. Its preamp used 12AX7 tubes for gain and tone shaping, while the power section employed EL84 tubes for a British-influenced clean-to-breakup character. The Tube 30 was a notable value proposition in the early 2000s budget tube market, competing with entry-level offerings from Fender and Crate. It provided a warm, dynamic tone that responded well to playing dynamics, a significant step above the solid-state Century and Spartan models in the Electar range.
