1960s Silvertone model 1482 guitar amp Excellent condition
Silvertone model 1482 guitar amplifier. Looks to be 100% original. Working perfectly except for the tremolo circuit. Comes with added casters. Very fine condition, from a smoke free environment.
The Silvertone 1482 was introduced in 1963 and was one of the most popular catalog amps throughout the 1960s. The 1482 was very similar to the short lived 6G3 Fender Deluxe (brown face) with tremolo circuit but has a bit earlier break up than the Deluxe. Like the Deluxe, the 1482 is powered by two 12ax7 preamp tubes, two 6v6 power tubes in a push/pull configuration and a 12" speaker. It differs from the Deluxe in that it's voiced a bit darker and breaks up a little earlier. The 1482 came initially with a round baffle but was soon changed to the square baffle for the majority of its time, then back to the round baffle at the end of its run. The amp is very responsive and dynamic offering a range of playing styles all within the change in the player's attack on the strings. The 1482 came stock with Silvertone branded RCA manufactured tubes and a Jensen 12" speaker. The whole combination weighs only 21 pounds so it's easy to carry.
