The Brunetti Star T Rack is a stereo tube amplifier head in rack-mount format from Italian boutique manufacturer Brunetti. It runs 5x12AX7A preamp tubes and 4x6L6GC power tubes, delivering 20W per channel in Class A or 50W per channel in Class AB via the ACIA (Automatic Current Impedance Adaptor) circuit. A 2+2 channel preamp offers Clean, Overdrive, Clean Boost, and Overdrive Boost configurations. The rack format and stereo output make it suitable for professional studio and stage rigs where independent left-right signal paths are used.
The Sunn 100s is a legendary 100-watt tube amplifier head renowned for its raw, thick tone and exceptional headroom. Built around four EL84 power tubes and featuring a dual-channel design with reverb, the 100s produces warm, compressed overdrive that defined heavy rock and blues tones. Its compact size and powerful output made it a studio and live standard for decades.
