Description Brand: Baldwin Model: D1 Deluxe Professional Series Exact Year: 1965 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
This is a rare "Professional Series" amp built at the Baldwin Organ assembly facility in Fayetteville, AR at the dawning of the transistor age. This means that it includes an early Bi-Polar JFET-driven pre-amp with its "fish-eye" pre-amp transistors as well as high-quality G.E. germanium output transistors, resulting in an amplifier that absolutely rages!This particular Baldwin amp is among the first 50 ever manufactured and, as such, features hand-wired circuitry on breadboard. It's very difficult to find one of these in perfect working order, but this one has been lovingly restored and tech-ed to perfection. Everything about it (except for 7 caps) is 100% original and -- better still -- the amp comes with its original spring-loaded dolly and its amp cover (which could use a little remedial stitching, but still. . .!).Unique to this amp is the "Supersound" controls, a very forward-looking feature that offers five distinct pre-set voicings via push button.Combine the flexibility of the built-in EQ settings, the manual tone controls, and the ability to blend the two as desired -- along with very worthwhile reverb and tremolo effects - and you've got one bold, loud tone monster!Dimensions and features:22 1/16″ x 10″ x 18″, 30 watts RMS (70 peak), 12″ CTS speaker, two channels; reverb (depth), tremolo (speed, intensity), volume, treble, bass, three-way Supersound switch, five-slide Supersound control.
