This amp is a 20 watt hand made tube combo, housed in the cabinet of an old "excelsior". The power section is 6V6's. 12ax7 pre's. It is kind of like a tweed deluxe except with vibrato and way more versatile. It came with nos tubes and a silver frame jensen. Controls are volume,tone,speed,depth.

What is very cool about this amp is the different voicings given by each of its three inputs. tweed and blackface tones and even a marshall sounding input that has higher gain and a little thinner sound. Folks, I have played about every type of old Fender there is as well as boutique amps (victoria) and this sucker blows them all away. the amp is incredibly responsive to picking dynamics at all volumes and yields beautiful harmonics. Breaking up like a small tweed amp. It feels very alive, with both single coils and humbuckers the amp just smokes. It has to be the best studio/small club amp on the planet. (I am a blues player, to hear my playing go to www.canball.com click on "whats new" then "Little Al Thomas")
