Commentary

This control amplifier was developed based on the same circuit design concept as the power amplifier WALRUS.

We have adopted a configuration that can be thought of as a model without the driver stage from WALRUS.
By adopting a simple circuit configuration, it is possible to amplify a signal with high purity.

The power supply is constructed by dual monaural construction with two large toroidal transformers.
Both transformers are placed with elaborate shielding on both sides of the front panel side.

The front panel inherits the design of the Integrated Amp WAZOO XL. It consists of a large volume knob, a selector knob, a standby button, a monitor button and indicators for each.
The main power switch is located on the rear panel and is designed to be turned on / off by the standby button on the front panel. When the standby switch is pressed, the LED in the upper center of the front panel turns on and becomes operational.

The monitor switch is used to monitor the signal recorded from the source device connected to the line inputs of the rear panel 1-5.

There are four line-level inputs, balanced and unbalanced.
Input5 is used as a tape input and has a separate tape output.

There are two types of pre-out, balanced and unbalanced, and bi-amplifier drive is also available.

It comes with a wireless remote control WAND for volume adjustment.
