Second Hand Komet Vimana Amplifier and Ambikab - Excellent Condition - very rare in Australia!
Komet Vimana Amplifier Head - Majestic Power
The Vimana is the production model of our 2019 Limited Edition Silver Cloud model. It is comprised with the identical circuit of the Silver Cloud (including identical transformers, control panels, circuit boards and our locally made 1/8th" aircraft craft aluminium chassis) - only cosmetics set them apart.
The Vimana is designed for big, clear bottom end, complex midrange, and detailed, shimmery highs. To achieve this we employ a proprietary, wide bandwidth output transformer of massive size. There is no global negative feedback circuit in the Vimana. This allows for maximum harmonic complexity and touch response. The controls include a full tone stack with: Treble, Middle and Bass controls. In addition, there is a three position Bright switch and a global Hi-Cut control. The “TSB” (Tone Stack Bypass) control allows the player to gradually bypass the tone control section of the amp; while increasing gain, midrange and harmonic complexity.
KT88
Fuel
A matched grade compliment of modern Genelex KT88 "Gold Lion" pentodes fuel the Vimana while giving you 54 Watts of surrounding, "auditorium" sound and power. The Vimana's two, KT88 power tubes are individually cathode biased and operate in true Class A "push-pull". This gives the Vimana a very tactile, smooth response to the player’s touch, while eliminating the need for adjusting bias current.
Komet Ambikab Speaker Cabinet- with 2 upgraded Celestion Alnico Cream's
Three Signal Paths in a single cabinet
Komet® Amplification is proud to announce our new, patented proprietary effects processing speaker system: AmbiKab®. This new innovation provides a unique solution to the age old problem of applying ambient, time-based effects to an amplifier’s sound without degrading the original sound in any way.
Most guitar players are familiar with the issue; when applying time based effects such as reverb or delay before distortion, the sound “washes out” and becomes indistinct. The proper way to apply these types of effects is after the distortion - much as you would in the mix down stage in a recording studio. In classic vintage amplifiers and many non-master volume designs (such as our Komet® amplifier lineup), the output stage employs distortion as part of the sonic recipe - but effects loops typically do not work well in those amplifiers. This is where the AmbiKab® comes in.
Endless Possibilities
The AmbiKab® allows the amplifier to directly drive a set of guitar speakers (“dry signal”) without any effects added directly to it. A portion of this dry signal is then split off by the AmbiKab’s® internal circuitry and sent out into a effects unit. From there, a 100% effects signal (“wet signal”) is fed back into the AmbiKab® where a separate, internal stereo power amplifier sends the signal to a dedicated stereo set of speakers.
The ultimate
wet/dry/wet solution
The AmbiKab® features a send level control to accommodate a variety of effects - from floor pedals to studio quality rack units. On the return side, a volume control for the internal stereo amp governs the proportion of effects signal that is being added to the guitar sound.
The AmbiKab® can be used with mono effects (both stereo channels bridged) or in full stereo mode. The sonic results of this new cabinet system are astonishing! The amplifier reacts to the player’s input as if there were no effects employed at all (as the amplifier never actually “sees” the effects).
Studio-grade
effects
Additionally, the ratio between wet and dry signals always stays constant; as the guitar player “rolls down” the volume to clean up the amplifiers sound or varies their picking dynamics, the effects signal changes proportionally to the amplifiers output signal. Players who have used traditional amplifiers with built in reverb will be familiar with this problem. If you set your reverb level for your lead sound, the reverb disappears when you roll down your volume for rhythm, and vice versa. The AmbiKab® solves this age old problem.
The AmbiKab® gives you a true, studio quality effects sound anywhere, without the hassle of a traditional wet/dry/wet rig requiring additional speaker cabinets, amplifiers, mixers and cables. All you need is your favorite amplifier head, favorite effects, and the AmbiKab.
Warranty & Returns
All New products are covered by the manufacturers new warranty. Please check their website for the length of warranty and warranty conditions. If an item you receive is faulty get in touch with us ASAP. Second Hand products come with a 4 week warranty from us. If there is an issue let us know ASAP! This covers normal use and does not cover accidental damage, misuse, wrong power plugged into it, modding, water damage or any other damage caused by mistreatment. Just treat it nice and all will be good!
Shipping
We send A LOT of packages every week so don't worry about the shipping side of things!
We've never lost a thing and your awesome new gear will be packed up really well to avoid any damage in transit.
If your order comes in before 2pm we will ship it same day. Most of the time we pack things up all the way to 4pm so just call if you need it to leave same day after 2pm.
We ship mainly with Australia Post but may use a courier depending on location and size of the package.
Free Post ships with Australia Post standard and expected shipping times are between 4-6 business days depending on location. It will be longer to outside of metro and rural areas.
Express Post will usually be with you next business day in metro areas of QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS. WA will take 2 days to metro and extra days after that to out side metro and rural areas.
Everything we ship has a tracking number with the exception of some power cables and smaller envelope packages. You will be emailed tracking once your order has been shipped!
