2210 Kendrick not only the best sound, best looking and best built style Fender amp I ran across it also summarizes two dominant trends in the music equipment: a desire for the lost quality attributed to anything "vintage" and appreciation for small production runs, homemade craft.
Kendrick is a "boutique" firm based in Pflugerville that the dream of building amplifiers from materials Primo ... and if the right parts are not available (such as output transformers and ultra-efficient black Framework Jenson style speakers), the only tool and Make'em itself. A glance tells you this is a nice AMP labor of love, the coverage of old tweed gives a golden glow, the light brown grill cloth fifties pure leather handles are reinforced with steel and hand-sewn Triple chrome on the control panel seems an inch thick. Inside the solid pine, go hand in hand-to-end housing, you will find hand-welded, coated wire cloth, a steel frame 16 gauge, sweet sound of the Sovtek tubes located in bushes ceramics. Treatment, of course, is excellent.
Instead of trying to meet the needs of each gutiarist while the 2210 is focused on achieving one thing: a classic of its era tweed. There are decorations and contemporary-tolerance resistors have values lower than those originally used by Fender and therefore will last longer, there is a transient protection and transient suppression power to prolong the life of the pipe, and hum-circuit reducing some modern mods, but does not violate the Prime Directive.
Electronics based on the famous 40-watt, Western Electric / Fender '59 Bassman circuit and located in a Fender "Super" size, 2 × 10 cabinet open. The hose assembly that represents the exact balance of power and tone: twin 5881 tubes (military version of the 6L6 ') trio of 7025, the tube rectifier (GZ34), and a 12AY7, which is less useful, but draws more power compared to the 12AX7, which produces richer, "tube-y-er" sound.
Sharp-Eyed technoid have noticed something very un-bass amp, tube-like list: Extra 7025. Discreetly parked across the main amplifier is a mini-frame platform with the effects loop send and return, loop back to get / gain of the third stage of control and selector and slide the foot switch and preamplifier. By switching (or footswitch) to determine whether this cycle tube longer to return to the circuit, or more useful for the third phase of a mega-distortion.
From the speakers and output transformers determine half of all their amps. Kendrick has paid special attention to these points, too. As noted above, the recreation of the classic classic sounds often required for making replicas enhanced Kendrick Jensen P-10R Alnico 5 speaker model. As expected, these black beauties of his incredible, does not reproduce the sound of high and low effort mud.
But even great speakers and an amplifier circuit to produce a sound sucky, if coupled with an output transformer anemic. Again, Kendrick found existing components are unacceptable, they roll up their share at a time. In 2210, the transformer is the key to its impressive sound. In 2210 is fat, fat, fat ... a complete surprise when this little amp sound thin expect.
Another advantage of the transformer is connected only to two 8 ohm speakers instead of the traditional 2-ohm, 4 x 10 Bassman amplifier configuration and can operate the speakers twice as hard. The credit goes to the New Wave guitar god Tom Verlaine (Television), which first asked Kendrick to make it a 2 x 10, as it was back and forth between many recording sessions in New York and needed a taxi amplifier use. 2210 El Camino Kendrick has been tested and has exceeded all expectations.
