1964 Epiphone EA-15rvt Zephyr:It is a pretty basic amp, hand wired, 2 channels; channel 1 (is louder) has 2 inputs on for guitar the other for accordion, loudness, bass, and treble.. channel 2 has 2 inputs on for guitar the other for accordion, loudness, bass, treble, reverbaration, depth, and frequency. monitor out... I guess it is around 25 watts ( it has the same tube config as the gibson ga- 30rvt:4-6EU7, 2-12AU7, 2-7591, 0A2)feeding 2 10" speakers (they look like jensen's but there is no label and are red.they are original
I read alot about gibsone and epiphone amps and they used whatever parts available and this model has 5 or 6 tube configs as do alot of their amps..

very basic..turn it up all the way loudness, bass and treble and control from my tele on the neck pickup..very warm,bluesy I would have to mike for a gig.. but it sounds sweet. I play alot of funk and blusey rock.. it holds it own it is a little noisy when i let my fingers off the strings but nothing when playing (it is turned up all the way)

Great amp, I have a Deville 410 too loud and a Crate Palamino V32 which I bought before I got this going..when I sound great I play better..I have yet to fully abuse this amp.. but so far so good..
