In Tim Cunningham's own words:
"The Custom 35 is an all tube guitar amplifier available in both head and combo configurations. Two channels are foot switchable for running independently, in parallel or cascaded modes providing a diverse tonal palette ranging from crystalline cleans to high gain tube saturation.
Channel 1 — Bite — Tweed style: big juicy cleans through to 'dimed on 12' overdrive. Channel 2 — Body — British style: classic Plexi tones for crunchy rhythm and singing leads.
Independent/Parallel: in independent mode, the channel switch selects either Channel 1 or Channel 2. In parallel mode, Channel 2 blends on top of Channel 1 — similar to jumpering channels on a dual channel amp with a huge range of tonal possibilities when blending.
Cascaded mode: Channel 2 borrows an additional gain stage from Channel 1 to produce modern high gain tones.
The Custom 35 utilises a cathode biased output stage which adds to the organic, singing quality of the amp. It also allows different output tube types to be installed without needing to re-bias. Fitted with EL34s as standard — try 6L6 or KT66 output tubes for a unique tonal signature. Tube driven spring reverb standard."
The Cunningham Amps Custom 35 is loaded with Scumback H75-PVC and S75-PVC 12" speakers at 8 ohm, 25W rated each. The Echo Fix EF-X3 runs in the effects loop of the Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander.
