Eddie Wang Instruments Polaris 1x12 Combo

Unveiling the Eddie Wang Polaris: A Versatile Powerhouse

Experience the sonic prowess of the Eddie Wang Polaris, a versatile amplifier meticulously crafted to meet the demands of modern guitarists. As the larger sibling of the Quantum Zen, the Polaris offers a unique blend of power and finesse, thanks to its innovative design and premium components. Unlike its predecessor, the Polaris features a 12AU7 wired as a pentode, delivering enhanced response, harmonics, and increased bandwidth. With a pair of EL34 power tubes, this amplifier offers a remarkable output range from 1 to 30 watts, ensuring exceptional performance in any setting.

Dynamic Soundscapes, Enhanced Performance

The Polaris boasts a tuned baffle that transforms the sound of its 1x12 configuration into the size and depth of a 2x12 setup, providing an expansive sonic canvas for your creativity. Crafted with a sapele hardwood ring inset into birch, the tuned baffle enhances the low end, offering rich texture and push reminiscent of a grand piano. Hand-selected solid pine cabinet, finger-jointed on all sides, including the front panel, ensures robust construction and optimal resonance, guaranteeing a premium playing experience.

Intuitive Controls, Unparalleled Tone

Designed from the ground up, the Polaris features an original circuit meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional musicality and clarity even at high drive levels. The redesigned tone controls offer intuitive manipulation, allowing you to sculpt your desired sound with precision. Custom-designed Soursound transformers ensure unrivaled tonal quality, while the inclusion of a variety of controls such as Volume, Charm, Bottom, Top, and Watts, empowers you to customize your tone to perfection, making the Polaris a versatile powerhouse for any guitarist.

Volume: Works like the volume control on most amps

Charm: This switch tightens and cleans up the bass when down, and adds fullness when up. When overdriven, down gives you a crisp and tight crunch tone; up gives you a creamy drive.

Bottom: Shapes the bass "character" of the amp. Turn it all the way down to get Vox like chime or Marshall like overdrive. Turn it all the way up for some Tweed-like sounds. Turn it anywhere in between to create your own distinctive tone.

Top: Unlike traditional designs, this "treble" control does not dampen the harmonics when turned down. Use it to brighten dark pickups, or turn it all the way down for some jazzy tones

Watts: Adjusts your wattage to fit your situation. That way, you can practice at your favorite Volume setting no matter where you are.
