❌SOLD❌ Fender Reverb Unit Model 6G15 Blackface, 1964

Until the early 1960s, Reverb as an effect was very uncommon on amplfiers. The Fender Reverb unit was introduced in 1961 to provide standalone reverb. Fender began to introduce Reverb on amplifiers in 1963, on the VibroVerb combo. Soon it seemed that all Fender amps had to have it!

❌SOLD❌ Watkins Dominator Mark 1 V Front Amplifier Reissue

❌SOLD❌ Watkins Dominator Mark 1 V Front Amplifier Reissue

One of only 100 built – the Watkins Dominator Mark 1 V Front Amplifier Reissue! The Watkins Dominator was bleeding edge for 1956, and its blistering 18 watts and two ten inch speakers struck fear in to the hearts of many promoters. The concept of the V-front is to widen the sonic field, rather than focus it straight ahead. Though it was rapidly pushed off stage by other much higher powered amplifiers, the Dominator was used extensively in studios during the 1960’s and was apparently the basis for the 18-watt Marshall combo design.

❌SOLD❌ Carr Skylark 1×12 Combo Amplifier Black, 2014

❌SOLD❌ Carr Skylark 1x12 Combo Amplifier Black, 2014

The Carr Skylark is a small amp with big features – twelve tube watts into a single 12 inch speaker, tube reverb, and a built in attenuator control that can take the output power down to one-hundredth of a watt. Tube amps can sound wonderful and there’s nothing quite like a vintage tube amp turned up, but alas, restrictions on usable volumes in the modern world can make them less practical.
