Under the hood Black Lion have included an IC-based front end, their own USA-made output transformer and a custom power decoupling design built on high-grade Nichicon capacitors, all supporting a fully discrete audio path. The result is a pristine airy top end and massive lows, all given room to breath by the Seventeen’s low noise floor.
Mix Adjustment Knob
Several key features sets the Seventeen apart from its rivals - most notably a wet/dry mix knob to allow blending of manipulated and original signals, separate high pass and low pass filters for ultimate tonal flexibility and a stereo link function for stereo daisy-chaining.
Exquisite on guitars, pianos, vocals and bass, a finer more versatile limiting amplifier for the money you’ll surely not find.
