Description
A vintage 1951 Gretsch Electromatic Standard 1x8 tube combo amp. Very few of these early Gretsch amps were made, and they are exceedingly rare. Like many amps from this era it has relatively low output volume and stays quite clean. However, a very nice blues-y crunch tone can be obtained by plugging into the #3 mic input and diming the controls. This hip little amp will be perfect for late-night practice sessions. This amp has been recently re-capped. It has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds great.
