These non-reverb Blackface models are much rarer than their counterparts but sacrifice nothing in performance. Though they have slightly less gain, with only two stages instead of three, their breakup remains just as warm and tasteful. This one has held up great over the years, with only minor signs of previous wear . It has stayed mostly original, with only the typical updates like the power cord and electrolytic caps. The power resistors have been changed as well, but other than a single tremolo cap the preamp remains completely original, including the "Blue Molded" Ajax coupling caps. The All-Tone labeled Eminence speaker might not seem very exciting but actually sounds fantastic. Overall, this is an excellent-sounding non-reverb Blackface amp!
