Description

The GA-75 would have been considered a premium-level amp in the early 1950s, delivering 25 watts of power through a Jensen 15" speaker. While it’s not feature-packed—offering only volume, bass, and treble controls—it absolutely roars when pushed. Players who love the raw, rich tone of the '50s GA-20 will be grinning ear to ear, as this is essentially a larger 6L6 version with the addition of a tone stack.

It's worth noting that this amp is a very primitive design and may come with a few quirks for those unfamiliar. For example, the bass control isn’t especially responsive, and the octal preamp tubes can lean toward being microphonic. That said, the amp still sounds fantastic—it just helps to temper expectations if you're used to more modern designs.

Internally, the amp has undergone a fair amount of servicing, including replacement electrolytic caps, but the vintage tone remains well intact. The output transformer has also been replaced, but the amp still delivers excellent sound despite the change.

*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.
