Our 'El Patron' amp has the clean channel and super lush reverb of the 'Texas Tru Tone' amp with the addition of footswitchable FET boost, Preamp boost (PAB) and an overdrive channel with a rich saturated, overdrive tone.
The 'El Patron' has the same cathode follower driven output stage as the Texas Tru Tone amp. Giving it that added clarity, even when overdriven, that Longhorn Amps are famous for.
