Sound Pure's Take
We are blown away every time Jamie Scott comes to us with a new idea for an amp. After a very successful release of the Wooly Coats "Spanky", Jamie called Matt, one of our electric experts, about the possibility of a more powerful Spanky, with his patented HybridMaster volume management included. Also, 3rd Power's new Dual-Mode reverb is included, and is one of the most three-dimensional sounding Reverbs we have ever heard!
The secret to this amp is in the Mid knob. Keep it around 9 o'clock for classic, scooped Blackface era tones, and right at noon and above, you'll start to experience a creamy, thicker tone that screams 50's Tweed/60's Brownface all packed inside this classy, vintage-inspired amplifier!
Matt was so pleased with this amp, that he ordered one for himself!

From 3rd Power Amplification
The EXTRA SPANKY is based on our popular Spanky model tube guitar amplifier – with Extras!! We basically doubled the power and clean headroom by opting for a power supply anchored by Mercury Magnetics transformers, Tungsol 6L6 output tubes and more. We integrated our patented HybridMASTER™ technology so this powerful Extra Spanky would still deliver your tone at any volume that’s right for the room. We went further and jammed in our Dual Mode all-tube spring reverb (from our flagship DUAL CITIZEN model) featuring an Accutronics large pan reverb tank. The result is a stunner – huge tube amp tone that covers all the bases in a convenient package weighing less than 35 lbs!
