Description
A vintage 1958 Gretsch 6161 Electromatic Twin tube combo amp in great cosmetic condition. This amp has a killer look and awesome vintage tone. It's 6V6-powered output section delivers 14 watts into two 6x9" alnico speakers and one 4" "tweeter." Its warm, rounded clean tone quickly turns into a smooth, blues-y overdrive as you turn up the volume. On top of that it gives you a very musical tube-driven tremolo. One of the 6x9" speakers has some very minor cone damage (see photos) that has been repaired; this does not effect the tone or operation of the speaker. This amp has been cleaned and tested. It is fully functional and sounds fantastic.
