SADIE XS
The SADIE XS is a 15-Watt Single Channel Tube Amplifier that embodies the best of the best in regards to Tone, Components and Construction. The circuit is “True Point-to-Point”. No circuit boards or turret boards are used. The tone signal truly follows the component path “Point-to-Point”. The XITS 5-Part Aluminum Chassis is milled one at a time and is vented to allow maximum air-flow. The SADIE XS is without question the best AC15 you have never heard.
