Komet Aero 33 Boutique USA-Made Tube Amp Head EL84, Serial Number 0001
Up for sale, a Komet Aero 33 in mint condition and in perfect working order. The very first Aero 33 ever made (serial number 0001), this boutique head is a hand-wired design hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, delivering dense, searing harmonics and a robust 33 watts via its cathode-biased EL84 power tube quad. Supremely touch sensitive and extremely musical in its sonic qualities, backing off note attack or rolling down the guitar volume yields a crystalline clean tone that sings with sustain and a chorus-like chime. The midrange is vocal and expressive, with shimmering trebles and a stout, resonant bottom end that tricks the ear into thinking big bottle output tubes are at play.
The front control panel is simple and intuitive, with Volume followed by a standard 3-band EQ, a Presence control as well as a High Cut control. The High Cut control operates within the power section of the amplifier and thus allows the user to darken and shape the overall tone without affecting the equalization of the preamp section. Unique to this amp is a three-way toggle switch on the back of the unit, allowing users to choose between Gradual or Fast response to playing dynamics, and an incorporated Touch Response circuit that works by magnifying subtle changes in pick or finger attack as well as guitar volume.
While the Aero 33 has plenty of gain and natural distortion on tap, the clean tones are no afterthought yielding the distinctive “EL84 chime” of the best AC30s. Complex, three dimensional, and lightning fast to player inputs, the Aero 33 captures the finest nuances of touch. And as with all Komet amplifiers, the Aero 33 is sonically multifaceted and pedal friendly, no matter which guitar, pickup compliment or playing style you choose.
Exceedingly well-kept since new, there’s barely a mark on the two-tone tolex, and the matched quad of Mullard EL84s have plenty of life.
