Tube amps. Last week on Craiglist I had an opportunity to make a trade for this tube amp that was retubed and rebuilt.

The amp came with a vintage Fender 12" speaker and a built cab. Once I got this home I plugged in my Gibson DC with p-90's. Man did the guitar sing like a charm.

A little more powerful than my 5 watt amp, but not close to the 18 watt I had. I took a few days to play around before making my recordings.

Basically this amp is very similar to the Hammond Organ Tube Amps, although not an organ amp, but very similar in structure. This amp was originally built in 56 (54 years old at the time of writing)
