Vintage GARNET Ram Tube Amp






This is an oddball amp and I can't find any info on it online. It's from the early 70's and I bought it about two years ago from the original owner here in edmonton, he bought it in toronto way back. It has 2x 5881 power tubes so maybe like 60 or 70 watts. Anyways its pretty loud! 2x 12inch speakers. Reverb tank feeds back at higher settings (easily fixable) but both the reverb and tremolo work and sound great.This amp is also constructed very solidly-don't make 'em like they used to. The tubes were replaced and it was serviced at long and mcquade ~2 years ago. It has a two prong power cord and would benefit from an upgrade to a three prong but I never got around to it.

$300

Seller is from Edmonton, AB

  3. I just bought a mint condition Ram Amp yesterday, which is a smaller unit, perhaps 5W, but it has an amazing tremolo and very warm tone. You can't go wrong with Garnet!
