Gartone Bluesman 18 watt Amp

Roll over the image to zoom in

    In near MINT condition, this Gartone Blueman delivers that classic tweed tone in a compact package. Handwired in the UK, the circuits is a clone of a 1956 Tweed Deluxe and is one of the early examples made by the company made in either 2003 or early 2004.

    This amp moves from sweet clean to gnarly, biting drive whilst retaining its definition. If dynamic, touch sensitive amps are your thing then look no further.

    More Info:

    This 18 watt 1x12 combo is based on the 1950’s 5E3 tweed deluxe. One of the most

    popular vintage amps, it’s a favourite of many, who love it for its’ addictive tone and

    personality.

    And with measurements taken directly from an original 1956 amp, plus Mercury Magnetics

    transformers cloned from the best vintage examples they could find, the Bluesman is as

    authentic as it gets.

    All the 5E3 features are here, from interactive volume controls and common tone control to cathode biased 6V6 power tubes running without negative feedback for natural raw tube tone.

    With top notch build quality and boutique components, the Bluesman is fabulously responsive, with singing sustain and warm sweet tone. In fact it’s as much a musical instrument as the guitar itself.
