Proxima A is the evolution of the design that started with the D₂O Amplifier.
The preamp and the core of its sound are borrowed directly from its bigger brother, the D₂O. The 6L6GC output tubes have been replaced with 6V6GT and size, weight, and output power have been scaled down to 18 pounds and a still giggable 12 watts of output power. Instead of a rear mounted switch for output power, a continuously variable output volume control has been added to the front. A new, three position "VOICE" switch controls an extra boost stage in the front end with options for no boost (the boost stage is bypassed), medium gain, or high gain, with each mode voiced a little differently.
Between the new output volume control and "VOICE" switch, the Proxima A takes what was already a very versatile platform and makes it capable of so much more--from lush, warm cleans, to biting distortion and everything in between.
