It also has a 6 position rotary switch to dial in a variety of gain and tone stages, plus an impressive and foot-swichable"bass cut" option which acts like a gain boost. Transformers are hand-wound at the factory. Cabinets are 2x12 style with Ceramic magnets.

Couple of choice amps, 63 AC30, 66 Twin, 80s JCM800 combo and a nice Musicmaster Bass combo. That's a late 60s Fender Coronado bottom right on the wall and a new Gibson Jeff Tweedy SG far left.

Silvertone 1344 Amp

Amp or appliance? That's the first thing that comes to mind when you see this beauty from the early 50's. I've read this was Little Walters favorite amp. Anyway, it's a pretty funky little thing that sounds great!

Nice warm tone, not very loud, all controls work. All inputs work. Speaker sounds fine. Looks like an Alnico magnet on the speaker. Tremolo control is for intensity(one speed: medium, think Susie Q) I've seen pictures of this amp with both this weird cloth speaker grille and with a metal grille.

Tubes are as follow, left to right:

5U4 Zenith

6Y6 RCA

12SJ7 RCA metal tube

6V6 JJ x2

12SC7 RCA metal tube

12SJ7 RCA metal tube (behind)

How about that, 2 different Rectifier tubes! That is a speaker extension jack. I wasn't tempted to try it. Schematics are available online.

Priced under $400. Call me at 615 507 8518 or visit me at Sam Ash Nashville, 1647 Gallatin Pike North, Madison TN 37115. Quarter-mile south of I-65 Rivergate exit just north of Nashville.

New Fender Deluxe Reverb, Red Witch and Pigtronix Pedals

Just arrived at Sam Ash Nashville, the new limited run Fender Deluxe Reverb in Wine Red with a cool straw weave grill cloth and a Jensen P12Q Alnico speaker. Very nice indeed.

Also: the newest awesome pedals by Red Witch and Pigtronix. By the by, these are the REAL Red Witch pedals, not the watered down el-cheapo boxes some other stores sell. Killer stuff!
