COOLDADDY-0 Presents Awesome 1st Quality 100% Authentic Buy with Confidence!! My reputation and feedback speaks for itself !!POW BOLT BTC-50 guitar amp, made in USA, Celestion, 6L6 or EL34, FX loop, reverb, Loaded with features!
I just had this serviced professionally so your good to go to the show....
This amp has been serviced, tested and all channels and features work fine. Mega rare amp, I've never seen another one of these for sale, ever. This amp was made in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA and is built like a tank from high quality parts. It is currently loaded with EL34 power tubes, you can use 6L6. Has a Celestion G12 Vintage 30 speaker. Also included is the original and equally hard to find Bolt BFC-7 footswitch. This amp is loaded with cool features and was very expensive new. Bolt's 50-watt guitar amp series, like the 100-Watt series, is designed and built in the USA with boutique amp quality, tone and design at attractive prices. It also incorporates a computer chip that continually monitors the power and preamp tubes to ensure they deliver cranked-amp tone at any volume and EQ setting. The amp's compact design also features two channels, each with level and gain, selectable active/passive EQ, and three selectable voicings. This combination of features allows you to find the exact tone and sound you want at any volume, no matter what style of music you're into.

Purists will argue, however, that for optimum tone and feel, tubes still rule the roost. Working from this premise, Bolt Amplification of Salt Lake City, Utah, combines tube and digital platforms in a range of amps that seeks to achieve the best of both worlds.
Like other heads and combos in the range, the BTC-100/212 and BTC- 50/410 combo use tubes in places where the amp interacts with the outside analog world—a 12AX7 at the input, and four or two 6L6s (respectively) at the output, with a 12AX7 driver/phase inverter and a comprehensive DSP engine in between for gain and overdrive tones, EQ, and reverb. While doing so, however, Bolt amps avoid the computerized look of many modeling amps, and there isn’t a preset menu, LED screen, or data wheel in sight. “We wanted to stay true to tube technology, by providing a traditional interface, ” says Jeremy Geisler, head engineer at Bolt.
As such, all amps have traditional control sections, with independent Gain, Level, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Reverb controls, plus a 3-way Voicing switch and Active Tone switch on each channel (Rhythm and Lead in the 50-watters, plus Crunch on the 100-watters). The Voicing choices are EL84 Class-A British, American 6V6 and 6L6, or British EL34 crunch, while the Active Tone function switches the tone controls from a passive tone stack (à la Fender blackface, Vox, and Marshall) to active, which utilizes a British console-style EQ with +/- 12dB of boost or cut. In Active mode you can also get a true midrange boost on each channel.
The master section has controls for Level, Presence, and Solo Boost with engage button, with further pushbuttons for channel selection and effects loop. All pushbutton functions illuminate when engaged, providing an instant reference to which selections are active, plus the 100-watter has a cool Tube Saturation meter that indicates how hard you’re pushing those bottles.
The back panel of the 100-watt BTC-100/212 has send and return for two switchable effects loops, with independent level control, +4/–10dB switch, and a series/parallel switch for each, as well as switches to automatically assign them to the selected channels. There’s also a line out with a switch for SM57-miked cab simulation, and—another benefit of the DSP—a switch to assign each channel independently with plate, spring, or hall reverb. The 100-watter has a half-power switch, while the 50-watt BTC-50/410 lacks the second effects loop, but retains the other features. Both have connections for multiple footswitch options, too. A standard stomp switch to select channels is included with the 50-watt models. A BFC-7 multi-function footcontroller included with the 100-watt models additionally selects loop, reverb, boost and voice. An optional BFC-5 footcontroller for selection of channels, loop, reverb, boost, and voice on the 50-watters is also available for $199 (street).
The construction of both amps appears to be rugged all around, and both Bolts feel like they should be able to handle plenty of journeys in and out of the van. The combos come in open-back cabs, the BTC-100/212 with a pair of Celestion Vintage 30s, and the BTC-50/410 with four Eminence Legends.
Tested with both a Les Paul Standard and a Telecaster, the BTC-100/212’s rhythm channel does impressive tricks right out of the gate, dispelling my memories of the lackluster clean tones I’ve experienced with some hybrid and modeling combos of yore. It’s big, bold and clear, and can be tweaked to approximate anything from a pumping Twin Reverb to a Hiwatt short of clipping, or crank its Gain with Level down a little to induce juicy, bluesy overdrive. The reverb options are a real bonus in this territory, and range from convincing spring emulations to lusher, more studio-quality effects. The crunch channel on the big combo is meaty and bold, with just a little fizziness at its core when you push the gain past noon.
The lead channel takes the firepower up another few notches, and proves a lot of fun as a result, yielding singing, liquid solo tones with great sustain and easy feedback. Articulation is still a little muted here, and I don’t quite hear or feel that bitey, edgy pick attack that you get from many a high-gain tube amp. Still, it roars, and does it well at reduced volumes, too, which is one of Bolt’s bragging points. The Voice switches provide useful alterations in basic response, and the Active Tone switch is extremely handy, perking up the response on all channels when it’s engaged and shifting your EQ range options to boot. The effects loops provide excellent flexibility with rack and pedal units alike, and all bonus features function just as they should. The 100-watter is loud when you roll it up, and you can drive some chunky old-school crunch from the Rhythm channel when you do, provided you have a gig that tolerates that much volume.
