Fuchs Lucky Seven Boutique Amp

The Fuchs Lucky Seven Boutique Amp is one of those amps that sounds larger than it is. fuchs-lucky-seven-boutique-amp In fact, this classic rock amp sounds similar to the larger Train 45 or Blackjack 21, and many feel it's up to speed with vintage Trainwreck and Marshall amps. While it certainly provides all the edge you’d need to rock, it is also capable of putting out some amazingly rich and subtle tone. Unlike some similar amps, the Fuchs Lucky Seven Boutique Amp features many different tone controls, all of which provide extreme flexibility in tone and sound.

The Fuchs Lucky Seven uses two 12AX7 tubes for preamp sound and a 7 watt EL-34 for its fixed bias output. However, you can also switch over to 6V6's if you’d like to reduce the power to around five watts. You can use your guitar’s volume control to easily go from clean, perfect tones to that great mean rock sound.

One of the unique things about the Fuchs Lucky Seven is how its constructed. It features the power supply circuits and the preamp tube circuits on a circuit card, but the power tubes and the transformer are actually mounted to the case itself. The cabinet is built out of solid wood and features tolex covering. All in all, the Lucky Seven is quite portable. It’s small and light enough to easily move, yet the sound it produces is equal to that of a much larger and more expensive amp.

The amp cost $899 for a basic, new amp, while a used version may go for around $725. More information can be found at http://fuchsaudio.com/fuchs_lucky_7.php.
