Description

huendeskes
Full tube Japanese amplifier from 1964-65.

Due to the driver tube technology, it allows 0% power amp distortion even at full volume, so the sound remains crystal clear. Low and high gain inputs, which can be used simultaneously.
15-20 W power. If you were considering it but think this is too little, try it out! I can't imagine a stage situation where it wouldn't be enough, especially since the unit's height and angle are adjustable due to the stand. I didn't even ask for a larger stage setup myself.

Built-in spring reverb and tremolo(!) These two effects are foot-switchable, but the footswitch is not included.

Restored by Laci Somogyi (Echo Effects). Dried-out capacitors, crackling potentiometers replaced with new ones, plus a new handle.
Brand new tubes (1x 12AX7, 1x 12AT7, 2x12AU7, 1x EF96, 2x EL84/6BQ5... the tube set alone cost 35 thousand HUF)

The price is non-negotiable due to the extensive work, the new tube set, and the rarity of the item. Highly recommended for genres requiring a clean sound with a Stratocaster, or for surf, rockabilly ;) And to be completely transparent: it doesn't like modern, high-output pickups.
Buy-A-Tone!

Can be tried in Keleti Blokk. I sell many items on other portals as well, so please only contact me with serious intentions, let's not waste each other's time!

Here is a sample with not very good sound quality:
