Marla Amplification Charlie Barker Combo - Reverb.com Exclusive Amplifier

Dedicated to the Chicago-based neighborhood celebrity dog that knew no stranger, Reverb.com and Marla Amplification bring you the Charlie Barker Exclusive Amplifier. Available in a Combo, Head, and/or Extension Cab option.

Charlie loved being outside sunbathing and greeting everyone with smiles and friendly barks. He was known for his smarts and for being the best companion. You would have loved coming across his yard while walking his block.

Everyone deserves a Charlie Barker in their life, so what are you waiting for?! Grab yours today!... and while you might thing I'm referencing an amplifier, I am referencing a dog. Go adopt a dog. You can thank me later by buying an amp. haha.

Marla Amps Ethos

Marla Amplification stands apart from traditional American amp makers. While boutique brands chase perfection at refective prices, Marla delivers the best possible amps at the most accessible price points. The result is an inspirational tool that:

• Sounds incredible

The “S” Family & Charlie Barker

The “S” Family exists in a bizarro world of tweed-adjacent, “what if” builds. Rather than recycling old schematics, Marla reimagines classics with new energy:

• S10V / S15C – 15W Class A combo with massive low end & pedal-friendly headroom.
• S20V – Big clean tone & endless headroom, inspired by the 5F6A and ProAmp.
• S40 – 5881 – A blend of 5E3, JTM45, and Bassman tones in one American - British blended powerhouse.

And now, the flagship:

Charlie Barker Combo Amp

• Fat, rounded cleans with the most headroom in an “S” Family amp.
• Superbass-sized coupling caps for massive low end and smoother harmonics.
• Channel One: Bright Cap switch + High/Low inputs.
• Channel Two: Dedicated tone pot + High/Low inputs.
• Boost options on both channels push mids & top end hard into the power section.
• 44 watts of LOUD Raw and Glass Shattering tone.
• Anthem Speaker blends modern cleans at modest volumes with fat 50s tweed breakup at higher volumes with.

From Twin-like cleans to modern overdrive, the Charlie Barker delivers for:
🎸 Strat players, Les Paul lovers, stompbox enthusiasts, vintage tone chasers, and even amp modeler converts will fall in love with the bundle of joy that is Charlie Barker.

Give your guitar and pedal board the amp that they deserve!!!
