    Introduction

    The sound of 'The Traveller' as well as that of 'The Rover' can be characterised as transparent and powerful. The output of the power amp is at least 2 x 100 watts.
    Seperate functions are available for switching from 100 to 50 watts (disabling 2 tubes), fanspeed and character of the feedback.
    Mono input is independent from the right and left inputs. The mono input signal is mixed with left and right by means of an internal tubemixer. This provides the possibility of mixing a dry and a stereo effectsignal.
    There are seperate stand by, presence and volume controls for each channel. The presencecontrol of 'The Traveller' works gradually and effectively. Loudspeaker outputs present are 4, 8 and 16 ohm.

    'The Traveller' uses four preamp valves and eight power valves.
