General

Once guitarists have had a taste of the warm, rich sounds of a powerfully distorted tube amplifier, they hardly ever go back. Trouble is, how do you keep these tones at a level that doesn't blow your ear drums to smithereens? The Koch DB-60S/P Dummybox Studio/PA is great for this - it is a manageable box that (while retaining the timbre) reduces the tube sound to an acceptable level for a speaker cabinet or mixer.

The options of the Koch Dummybox Studio/PA

The input of the Dummybox Studio/PA can be connected to an 8-ohm output on your valve guitar amplifier. Now the Dummybox handles the power, so you no longer need to connect a speaker cabinet. You can send the signal, with speaker emulation, directly to a mixer via the balanced XLR or to a speaker cabinet any way. Connect a speaker cabinet and you can choose whether you want to have the output at normal volume (Thru) or at 5, 3 or 1% of the power.

Koch quality

After years and years of being a guitarist and valve-amp expert, the Dutch Dolf Koch started his own business in 1988. The brand's high-quality guitar and bass guitar amplifiers are practical and versatile, and have a unique balanced sound. All of them are carefully crafted and tested, which is why many professional players rely on Koch quality.

Wrote the following about Koch DB60-S/P Dummybox Studio/PA
Zeer fijn ding om te hebben ziet er netjes uit en doet het geweldig goed. De speaker simulator klinkt ook lekker. De balanced out is ook een must op het podium.
Ik ben er heel blij mee en misstaat zeker niet in mijn home studio. Er is niets mooier dan een brekende buizen bak...... Maar 50/60 watt is erg hard voor ie een beetje gaat klinken!!!!

Koch Brings the Past to the Present with the Classictone II Series

Monday 13 June 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

What is it about guitar amps from the past that makes them so desirable? Could it be the looks? The sound? Or, perhaps it's both. Koch certainly considered both when designing their new classic amplifiers, the Koch Classictone II series! Clearly, they took a look at some iconic tube amps too, as the new series consists of four classic tube amps fitted with EL84 power tubes for a warm sound with awesome overdrive.
