Top Hat is a brand that tends to fly under the radar, but they build some truly exceptional boutique amplifiers. The Super Deluxe MK2 blends classic American and British tones into one seamless design, leaning more toward Tweed-style cleans at lower volumes before transitioning into rich, AC30-inspired chime and overdrive as it’s pushed.This particular example is equipped with an excellent Celestion G12H 30-watt speaker, offering a great balance of warmth, punch, and articulation.
This particular example is in excellent condition, with minimal signs of previous wear, aside from one cream knob being changed to brown. Here’s what the manufacturer has to say about it:
"The New Super Deluxe features a slightly refined EQ and a larger output transformer to process the larger 6L6 Power Tubes. The Super Deluxe puts out 33 watts of cathode biased Class A Power. Not only does it have larger power transformer, but it also features larger output transformers and is biased to handle 6L6's, EL34's and 6V6's without adjustment. The Super Deluxe features a preamp based on the TopBoost, Tweed Bassman and plexi Marshall arrangement -- mixed with an AC30 type phase inverter and no-negative feedback, cathode biased output section.
