Whether wearing the National, Valco, or Supro Badge, the phrase "Chicago 51" carries serious weight in the realm of vintage amplification. With just volume and tone available, this amp delivers a legendary ripping midrange-y tone, easily comparable with the much more expensive 5C3 Tweed Deluxe. This is a no-brainer purchase for anyone in the market - 3 prong cable has been installed and it's ready to go!

*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.
