Description
A vintage 1947 National Chicago 51 tube combo amp. Produced by Valco in the 1940s and early 50s, the Chicago 51 saw several iterations, with this version being one of the rarest. It features a tone typical of the era--with a deep clean tone that gets nice and crunchy as you move up the volume knob. This one will make a great blues amp. This amp has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds fantastic.
