Hagerman Amplification
PP12 Push-Pull 12W Amplifier
Product Overview
The Hagerman PP12 is a modern EL84-powered tube amplifier featuring the innovative Hagerman Clipper circuit for its high-gain channel. It delivers a clean and low-noise 8 watts, ideal as a pedal platform, or up to 12 watts when pushed. A rear-mounted half-power switch is included for bedroom practice.
This amplifier distinguishes itself with unique features such as inductive rectification, a contour tone control preceding the clipping stages, the all-tube Hagerman Clipper, and a passive analog cabinet simulator for line/headphone output. The design prioritizes tonality and articulation over maximum power, contributing to a smooth transition from clean to distorted tones and extended tube life.
The PP12 is available as a custom pine head or a combo cabinet with a 12" Jensen Alnico speaker. It requires specification of either 120VAC or 240VAC input voltage upon ordering.
