Description

A '53 Deluxe Amp in excellent condition! It has some slight scuffing on the edges, adding to its great vintage look that perfectly complements its signature Tweed sound. This amp features the early 5C3 circuit with octal preamp tubes, known for their pronounced midrange bark compared to the 9-pin types (12AY7/12AX7).

The power cord has been replaced, along with the electrolytic capacitors and one power resistor. The coupling capacitors have also been changed, which is common since the originals tend to leak over time. All original preamp resistors still remain. This amp sounds like all your favorite records and is an absolute joy to play through!

*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.
