Tube Combo Amp! 15 Watts! Tone Monster! Made In USA!
This is really cool. You are looking at a 1962 Airline 62-9013A Tube Combo Amp. The Airline brand name was applied to a line of musical instrument related products distributed through the Montgomery Ward’s catalog throughout the 1960s. The amplifier line consisted of rebranded amps made by Valco and Danelectro. The Airline 62-9013a was manufactured by Danelectro and was almost identical to the Silvertone 1472/1482 except for a horizontal control layout and different screen printing. The Airline amplifiers manufactured by Danelectro in the mid-1960s have become the most popular among guitar players for their great tube tone and Cold War-era styling.In Production from 1961 to 1968. This is a 1962 model with a 12" Alnico CTS Speaker.  The Speaker is not original to this Airline, but it is a vintage 1967 Alnico CTS. The Airline 62-9013A was introduced in 1961 and was one of the most popular catalog amps throughout the 1960s. The 1482 was very similar to the short lived 6G3 Fender Deluxe (brown face) with tremolo circuit but has a bit earlier break up than the Deluxe. Like the Deluxe, the 62-9013A is powered by two 12ax7 preamp tubes, two 6v6 power tubes and a 12″ speaker. The tremolo on the Airline/Silvertone amps is more of a dramatic thumpy tone compared to the Fender’s smoother wobble. It differs from the Deluxe in that it’s voiced a bit darker and breaks up a little earlier.The amp is very responsive and dynamic offering a range of playing styles all within the change in the player’s attack on the strings.Awesome Recording or Bedroom / Studio Amp. Breaks up early. Does NOT peel the paint off walls. However you could gig with this in small venues. Warm, Gritty, Crunchy. Fat Tone that sounds delightful!Upgraded to a 3-prong grounded ac power cord!
