Description Brand: SILVERTONE MPN: 1484 Model: TWIN TWELVE Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
This amp is back from the dead and sounds exactly like it's suppose to, great tonal balance at lower clean volumes and the classic Danelectro overdrive when pushed to higher volumes. needs nothing, everything bad or ready to fail has been replaced. This includes a brand new output transformer from Weber built to the original spec's but with a 4 and 8 ohm tap. The Reverb was not in fixable condition but the Tremolo is absolutely killer. The tubes are all Electro Harmonix, They came with the amp and still test pretty strong so they should last you a while. I will include an extra 6cg7 since it is not needed for the reverb.The head and cabinet came heavily painted, and in an attempt to remove it i accidentally created this awesome relic'd look that can't be recreated. Almost looks like snake skin to me, i had to leave it, it just looks so cool and the head and cab are a perfect match. The grill cloth has no rips or holes and is in great shape other than some paint spots around the edge from who knows when. The cabinet itself has been completely reinforced and some bottom plastic corner guards added so it is ready for the abuse of the road. Maybe not a museum piece but it's definitely built for the stage. You can drag this one around anywhere and not worry about it falling apart. The speakers are the same CTS square magnet speakers found in a lot of vintage fenders. These are low watt speakers that sound great at lower volumes and even a little crunch but i don't think they will handle being pushed too hard by this amp. I didn't want to put beefier speakers in it because it already weighs 52 pounds and shipping cost would go way up. If you play clean you may just keep the ones in there, they're pretty good speakers. But if your going full bore you're going to have to upgrade them. You will need a short speaker cord to connect the head to the cab. The foot switch for the Tremolo is missing but it can be controlled with the amp knobs, if you need a foot switch they can be easily made or bought on e-bay.Please check my feedback and be assured this amp will arrive safe and will sound just like it's suppose to. The output tranny is brand new but like any tube amp, if you run it without a speaker load it will damage it and i can not be responsible for replacement. The tubes test and sound great but of course any tube can fail at anytime. I am currently working on 18 watt Marshall clones built from L-series Hammond organ chassis, these are amazing amps. Please contact me if you would like more info and a few photo's of some of the amps. All questions welcome, NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!!!!
