Overview

Welcome to a new world of expression.

The adventurous TransAtlantic TA-30 30W 2x12 tube guitar combo amp may well redefine the Brit amp genre by including preamp and power options that seem near impossible for an amplifier with such a humble footprint and manageable poundage. This TransAtlantic follows the architecture of its lower-powered sibling, the TA-15 and adds a more robust power section, gorgeous tube reverb, and a channel-assignable/bypassable effects loop. The extra horsepower and feature set on the TA-30 brings the TransAtlantic concept”and, more importantly, tone”out of the studio and into the world of pro gigging.

Two footswitchable channels navigate the Atlantic with stylistic flair and give you a passport to the best British and American preamp sounds in two straightforward groups of five controls. The five preamp modes (2 in Ch.1 and 3 in Ch. 2) are selected with a simple mini toggle located in the top position of stacked toggles in each channel.

Along with this array of iconic preamps the TA-30 offers three amazing power choices in each channel, each of which allows you to perfectly tune the power to enhance the preamp mode chosen for a given footswitchable sound. The result of all this flexibility is a fully capable live-performance amp with an uncanny sense of direction that can also be switched down to 15 watts for lower volume power-clip applications or late-night sessions.
