Published on 02/21/11 at 15:00This 2 tone blonde and tan 5 watt beast by Fender takes the modern interest in tube amps and throws it back to the 50s where Fender amps began.
5 watts of power into one 6 inch 4 ohm Fender designed speaker is not going to tear down walls, but it give you the chance to hear a cranked tube amp without booking a stadium tour with Neil Young!
Knobs are so easy a caveman could use this amp: Volume. Yep, that's it one volume knob. Also a power switch, high and low gain in puts as well as a speaker out.
The Tubes are one 12AX7 preamp tube and one 6V6 that drives the power amp.
I saw it in my local music shop. Couldn't pass it up. Looked cool, sounded cool and I can always use a small amp for practice or recording.
These amps were originally $200, but have come down to $149.
It's simple to use. One knob! The amp really shines with a nice overdrive pedal in front of it. The 6' speaker can offer a nice jangle.
None really. I plan on experimenting with the speaker. I have always dug what Jensen makes and will see if they have a 6'.
If Fender put an 8 or a 10 inch speaker in this amp it would have opened up more doors for experimenting.
Retro. Blonde tolex and a brown sort of suede grill cloth over the speaker. This amp is compact and you could easily hide it from your wife! j/k
Experience a cranked tube amp without ear plugs! Strip down your fancy chain of events and remember what a guitar into an amp sounds like.
