Description

A vintage 1960 Danelectro Centurion tube combo amp. This one is very clean and is in fantastic shape overall. The only major change is the speaker, which is a significant upgrade if you compare the original "budget" speaker with the currently-installed vintage Jensen P12Q. Sound-wise, these are great rock amps--with a crunchy, mid-focused overdrive tone. The P12Q adds a level of sensitivity and detal that puts this amp over the top--perfect for studios or smaller gigs. This amp has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds amazing.
