Description

The shiny look of this 1961 amp comes from the fact that it's been recovered, and the grillcloth has been changed. Someone decked it out in all new hardware as well. But don't let the clean visage fool you, because the sound it puts out is vintage snarl. The circuit is listed as "6G6" on the tube chart, but has since been changed to the more desirable "6G6-B" from later in '62. The electrolytic caps have been changed, along with all coupling caps. Some resistors have also been changed, for the sake of the mod. The transformers are all original.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
