Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Don't let that simple control plate fool you, the Gremlin has more than enough range to satisfy your tonal needs! With the on board attenuator you can crank out some nasty tones at bedroom volume, or crystal clear cleans at the gig. Plus the two channels give you options between tweed and blackface amp profiles. With all that room to explore it's gonna be hard to unplug!
From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
The Tone King Gremlin is the ultimate low-wattage combo for cranked blackface and tweed-era tones. Whether you’re picking at home or keeping up with a drummer, this 1×12” 5-watt all-tube combo dishes out enough vintage-vibe to inspire. And its two inputs and simple control layout make finding your tone as easy as can be. Plug into the Rhythm channel for a blackface tone with bell-like highs and increased headroom. Or maybe the Lead input’s tweed-style drive is more your flavor. You can even blend and switch between them with an optional A/B/Y footswitch. And you have total control over your levels thanks to our onboard Ironman II power attenuator. If you’re drawn to the low-wattage side of cranked American amps, your tone is in the Gremlin.
