Anyone talking about this Tube head?

I know this is an extremely luxury tube head but man does it hit all the right boxes for me.

Preorder VOLTA | Jad Freer Audio

jadfreeraudio.com jadfreeraudio.com

200 watts
Smaller sized
Runs at 2/4/8 ohms
Extremely simple EQ

This would be the best head for my BF Three10 plus One10 set up.

I’m taking donations towards funding this if anyone wants the tax write off 😂

This has been announced for a long time now I’d like to see a head to head between this and the ashdown ctm-200 and an ampeg and other equivalent all tube heads. The ashdown is about half the cost.

I’m sure every video they will love it , just like every other video for every other product. A critical comparison would be nice to see.

BTW I have 2 capos and a coda amp so I’m a fan of JF for sure.

Ah, thank you. I guess the slap video scared me off too quickly.

Your original point still stands. They have videos for P Bass, Rick, Jazz Bass + Pick, and Jazz Bass Slap demos on their youtube page.
Yet, on the product page on their website, the only video you see is Jazz Bass Slap. You have to be curious enough and motivated enough to decide to go to their youtube page to see if they even have other demos and then watch them... and now you're on youtube, not their product page anymore. Which, i dunno. I'm not a marketing specialist. Buuuut... 🤷‍♂️

That said, Jad Freer makes killer stuff.

IMHO the biggest difference is the JF Volta is very light for a 200W tube amp (about 28lbs). $4162.

The CTM200 weighs about 51lbs. $2700.

The new Orange AD200 weighs about 57lbs. $2800.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other current 200W tube amps.

The Mesa Prodigy weighed 29lbs and was rated 250W.

Ampeg doesn't make a 200W tube amp.

Good point about the weight, I hadn’t noticed that.
