General

The Twintone III Combo is a powerful, highly versatile all-tube combo by the renowned Koch company. The MKIII has a slightly larger housing than its predecessors, which - while retaining a defined, open sound - results in more depth and warmth for the low frequencies. Its two EL34 power amp valves send 50 Watts of warm, crystal-clear cleans and a richer-than-ever distortion to the 12-inch speaker.

Switching with the Twintone III

Each of the two channels of the Koch Twintone III has its own volume/gain control and 3-band EQ. With the included 4-button foot switch you can effortlessly change channels, engage medium or high boost, switch on the built-in long-scale reverb or effects loop, and switch between rhythm and lead volume. The last two volume settings can be accurately adjusted on the amplifier, just like the Presence (which is now moved to the master section).

Inputs and Outputs

Naturally, the elaborately outfitted Twintone features some essential extras. There's a second guitar input, for instance, which is specially made to handle high-output pickups such as humbuckers without overdriving the input stage and to compensate for loss of clarity. Additionally, this all-tube guitar amplifier features a record output with improved speaker emulation and a trio of speaker outputs that allow you to connect 16-Ohm (1 or 2), 8-Ohm (1 or 2) or 4-Ohm cabinets.

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.

Koch Twintone III Combo Guitar Amplifier

Wrote the following about Koch Twintone III Combo Guitar Amplifier
Deze versterker klinkt dan wel niet als de van plaat bekende amps maar daar staat tegenover dat ie heel veelzijdig en veel handige functies heeft. Versta me niet verkeerd; het geluid is zwaar OK. Heel belangrijk: je kunt hem in je eentje tillen. Met het voetpedaal switch je met gemak tussen clean, drive en hot en dan heb je ook nog de solo boost. Echt een werkpaardje dus voor de optredende artiest die veel in kleine gelegenheden moet spelen. Moeite met de mix? Zet 'm op een statief en gebruik indien nodig de Rec/PA uitgang, dan hoor je jezelf en het publiek zal je ook horen. Verder veel aansluitmogelijkheden op de achterkant en een goeie verengalm. Een klein beestje dat de kwalificatie 'Zwitsers Zakmes' verdient!

Ik begin met het positieve. Na het uitpakken en aansluiten kwam het proberen. En ik was bijzonder positief verrast. Wat een volle, warme en strakke sound. Dus helemaal blij met de aankoop. Echter, en nu komt het. Meegenomen naar de repetitieavond om hem eens echt goed te proberen. En nu komt het negatieve. Van het geluid bleef helemaal niets meer over. Viel volledig weg in de mix. Heb geprobeerd de mids eruit te laten komen door deze helemaal open te draaien maar geen resultaat. Helaas. Dus na een aantal nummers mijn "oude" versterker weer opgepakt en aangesloten en ik hoorde mezelf weer. Het positieve van dit "experiment" is dat ik in ieder geval mijn huidige versterker weer waardeer.
