Sound Pure's Take
I'm adding this to my "hidden gem" section of our inventory. This amp was only out of the shop for about a month, and the customer decided to bring it on by to consign. Not because he didn't love it! Because he has many many amps, and rotates them fairly often. Now someone can get an even better deal on what was already a serious deal! I used the same photos from when it was truly new because it is in the exact same condition!
You've been looking for a low watt american/fender-style amp? Don't want to be lost in a sea of silverface princetons? Get one of the newest and coolest lookin hand-wired 10w amps on the market, right here, for a price you will question. That is, until you plug in, and thank me. and Rich, for building an affordable boutique amp with plenty of character and classic tone for days.
I love the simple functionality of this amp! Breakup varies depending on the guitar used. It loves Les Pauls, but really hits home with strats and tele's. With the middle back panel removed, it can hang with small gigs un-miced. But I recommend micing it at your gigs for best results. Less knobs means less problems, and the purest tone!
Watching the growth of the Flickinger line is a pleasure! Rich brought in the Velvet Mite amp for Sound Pure to demo before it was available for sale and we were amazed! This 10 watt amp based on a modified (and hand-wired) princeton is truly an amazing amp with a price that can't be beat.
In a world of 2x12 and 4x12 cabinets, this amazing 2x10 cab provides plenty of punch! We love the Jensen Jet speakers it comes with. Rich tried many speakers before deciding these were a great fit.
