What We Think

There is a Jensen Jet 12" upgrade speaker in this amp that really brings it to life! If you prefer the original speaker (Eminence Patriot), that can be re-installed. Your choice! 

There are many kit amps on the market by Allen. This is not a kit!! This is a rare piece actually built by Allen himself! The quality is insanely good! The amp looks new and sounds like a dream.

You won't find many deals on this brand out there! Call or Email SoundPure, today

Manufacturer's Description from Other

ALLEN AMPLIFICATION offers nine vintage "boutique" all-tube hand-wired guitar combo amplifiers or heads and matching speaker cabinets. Inspired by those wonderful blackface and brownface American circuits from the 60s, these amps provide that proven tone and reliability in a brand new amp, with a few new modern features for today's demanding players.

All Allen amps feature a stainless-steel chassis, US made paper-wound power and output transformers, Switchcraft jacks and Carling switches. We use the best current production tubes and specially voiced speakers to ensure great sound and reliability. Many speaker configurations are offered for that perfect set up. Most models will accept two different types of power tubes for different power ratings.
