Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good (original speaker has been replaced with Eminence GA-SC64)
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!
From 3rd Power Amplification
The Extra Spanky takes a classic Blackface preamp with an expanded mid-range frequency control and combines that with an over-built power supply to deliver throwback tone with extra headroom and punch.
