Hammer 35 in depth
At the heart of this compact amp is a four tube amp which is the normal channel of a balckface Pro Reverb. The input is the high sensitivity input. The tone controls are passive and interactive.
As we know Pro Reverb does not have a presence knob, but Hammer 35 has a Presence knob which works in the preamp section and helps to have better tone shaping possibilities. The amp is very flexible in terms of its tonal character. To match this tonal character to your needs, you have the option of selecting the tube for the preamp, phase inverter and the power section.
Each tube type affects the tone accordingly. Of course you can buy the amp with stock choice of tubes and the amp is still superb.
The preamp section choice of tubes:
12AY7: This tube has the lowest gain among others. That is perfect for warm clean tones. With this tube the amp stays clean for most part of volume range.
5771: This tube has less gain than ECC83 / 12AX7, but it is hoter than 12AY7. The best choice to reduce the gain in the preamp.
12AX7 / ECC83: There are so many variants of this tube out there. They all work in this stage very well. This tube has the most gain among others. If you like how this amp roars when it is cranked, use this tube in the preamp and the phase inverter section.
. And still you can play with reasonable sound volume. That is with this amp you don't have to play at full loudness to create that sound.For the sake of tone authentcity, Jupiter Capacitors which are a true remake of the Yellow Astron Capacitors have been used.

Phase Inverter choice of tubes:
12AT7/ ECC81: This is the standard choice of most blackface amps. These tubes have less gain/ more headroom than 12AX7's. Using this tube results in a amp with more headroom / clean.
12AX7 / ECC83: Using this tube beefs up the amp more. If you want to crank this amp and get more crunch and compression, this is the right choice for you.
Power amp choice of tubes:
6L6GC: This is the tube choice for those who need a cleaner sound and more headroom in the poweramp section.
5881: This tube has less power than 6L6GC and could be used in place of 6L6GC when less power/ headroom is desired.
