Klemt Echolette BS-40 1963

As you can see in the pics, this exceedingly rare original, vintage KLEMT ECHOLETTE BS40 amplifier is in exquisite, perfect functional condition, with no issues of any kind. It has just been fully serviced and restored, and It is ready for another 50 years of rocking.  These German amps were the same ones used by the Beatles in Hamburg, you never know... The bs40 is a 2x el34 based amp, basically a Marshall jtm45.  The tone is impossibly deep and rich, with huge, HUGE, vintage, beefy iron vibe. I really can't over-stress how great the tone is.   The amp is all original, the only changes were the electrolytic caps.   All the iron is untouched.  The el34s are nos winged =C=.  Rad.

The heart and soul is of course, that amazing, gritty, distorted tone as you begin to heat things up.   You simply MUST(!) jumper the inputs!  Things start to get really interesting at about 1/2 volume and keep getting better the more you turn it up, until you are in full-on, unsurpassed, pure, real golden era, mind-destroying, cascading distortion. I ADORE the "sag" and compression you get out of this old girl when things start to get toasty.  Glorious. This amp has phenomenal, tight break-up and creamy, squishy, gritty overdrive. It is a real wall-of-sound smear of stunning UK tubs tone.  The ORIGINAL! ....... heaven!  

Cosmetically, this old beauty displays Only the most distinguished and well deserved exterior wear one would expect of a classic, well loved, well played and well cared for amp of this age and pedigree, all included at no extra charge.  

This is not only a gorgeous sounding amp, but a fantastic slice of rock history.  Enjoy!
