Description

Owned and played extensively by Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes. This amp saw both road & studio use, and comes with a signed letter of authentication.

The Blonde era Fender Twin's don't have a ton of hype, simply because there's not many of them out there. Even more scarce is the later 6G8-A circuit, which is highly sought after among those in the know. As is the case on most of the brown/blonde era Fenders the harmonic tremolo is delightful, and this one is no exception. This circuit features the coveted "Blue Molded" Ajax capacitors, which stand up far more reliably than the Astrons found in the earlier Fenders. This amp has retained all original components, aside from the speakers, power cord, electrolytic caps and a couple of power resistors.

*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.
