50's tweed deluxe (5E3) these sound incredible, almost greasy.
15-18 watts, 2ea 6V6 output tubes. SIMPLE design that still sounds great almost 60 years later

18w built like a tank, more punch than the 5E3

That's a fine piece of equipment :hookem:

I bet it has the best sparkly cleans ever! Can you find some clips of one online?

to which one?

for sparkly clean you want this - you can dime it and it still stays clean. painfully loud though

I'd love to have an old Ampeg combo. Those things have always looked so cool to me.

That's a fact. Clean and really loud.



Really heavy too. ;D
