Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

The Bella is one of the most beautiful sounding amps we have ever heard. Here is a list of adjectives that come to mind when one hears this spectacular amp: warm, sweet, round, clear, balanced, precise, inspiring, versatile, perfect. What else is there to say?? 

From John Suhr Amplifiers

OVERVIEW
With the introduction of spring reverb in the 1960s, guitarists were inspired to create new genres of music. From the California surf scene, to nashville twang, the smokiness of motown, to the bite of english blues. Even today, 50 years later, with modern technology, there is still nothing quite like the rich, lush character of a spring reverb.
 
Reverb has inspired guitarists to create space, depth, dimension and ethereal soundscapes, transforming and elevating the guitar to another level of musical expression.
 
Inspired by the classic sounds of yesterday, the Bella Reverb brings together all of the convenience and features of our original Bella amplifier with the addition of a unique tube spring reverb circuit. This circuit was painstakingly designed to offer players the ultimate reverb experience without coloring or altering the sound of Bella, or your instrument’s natural tone.
 
Bella is a portable, American voiced, hand-wired, all-tube amplifier. Bella is designed to be the ideal grab-n-go amplifier and the ultimate platform for your pedalboard. Bella’s simple and easy to use controls (including Boost and 3-position Bright switch) make it a snap to tailor the amp to your favorite boost, overdrive, fuzz and distortion pedals; while the effects loop is the ideal place for all of your chorus, flange, delay, and reverb pedals.
 
Bella is powered by a duet of 6L6GC power tubes that deliver either 22 or 44 Watts of Class A/B power.
