Red Bear MKE 60 preset

Verified · 87/100 confidence. Complete schematic. All component values readable. Parameters derived directly from the circuit.

The Redbear MKE 60 is a single-channel boutique tube head. High and low inputs feed a cascaded preamp of four dual-triode stages, with a footswitchable stage that adds gain, a Gain control, and a treble, bass and mid tone stack followed by Master and Presence. A cathode-follower-driven effects loop sits ahead of a long-tail phase inverter and a fixed-bias push-pull pair of output pentodes with 4, 8 and 16 ohm taps and a solid-state rectifier.

Tags: boutique, modern, crunch, mid-wattage.
