The Silvertone 1482 is a vintage 15-watt tube guitar amplifier made by Danelectro for Sears during the 1960s.

Overview and Specs

• Power Output: Roughly 15 watts.

• Tubes: Two 6V6 power tubes, two 12AX7 preamp tubes, a 6AU6 (for tremolo), and a 6X4 tube rectifier.

• Speaker: Single 12-inch speaker

• Channels: Two inputs for instruments and one microphone input (which acts as a hotter, higher-gain channel).

• Effects: Onboard bias-based tremolo.

Tone and Reputation

Often called the "poor man's Deluxe", this amp is famous for its touch sensitivity, warm chime, and early crunch when pushed. It works exceptionally well as a studio recording and small-venue amp. Because of its cardboard/Masonite cabinet construction and unique circuit design, it delivers an authentic garage-rock vibe.
