Description:
Custom mahogany enclosure with faceplate
I design amps based on my own experience and needs, and when it came time to design the Creamer, I wanted to find a balance between aperfectly voiced guitartonewith a fair amount of power and portability. Everyone loves low power vintage amplifiers, but sometimes Ineed a bit more power, reliability, and headroom on the gig. In studio, the Creamer is virtually silent when idle. Its the ultimate refinement and alternative to thevintage small format amplifier.
I wanted theCreamer to be very versatile so I includeda cathode bias circuitso that theuser can easily substitute 6L6 or 6V6 output tubes with no need to rebias the output tubes. I have added a rear mounted switch to maintain an 8ohm speaker output regardless of which tube type used.
With 6V6the Creamerputs out about 20 watts into 8ohms and has sweet breakup. Put a pair of 6L6s in, flip the switch on the rear panel and you get a bit of more low end, subtler mids, and a touch more headroom.
The tremolo circuit in the Creamer is unique and sounds outstanding. It is harmonically rich, deep, and has a very useful range of speed.
Jupiter Alnico 12″ has a classic American alnico magnet sound. A bit less transparent in the upper midrange, this speaker adds a “woody” tone to the Creamer. Its still lively on top, and a bit more focused in the bass response than its ceramic magnet brother. The speaker starts to break up and add alnico character as the amp is pushed.
Like all Milkman amplifiers, the Creameris built using the finest possible components onto a turret board, and is hand wired with cloth covered wire.
