About This Listing

Offering my ca. 2008 custom Emery Sound Superbaby amplifier with enclosed head, and matching cabinet housing a 12" AlNiCo Weber Blue Dog speaker.  A very rare (and possibly only) walnut makeup rather than the solid mahogany Curt will use otherwise.  This very amp is one he features on his website homepage (n.b. "Ten Years!").

Your familiarity with Emery Sound likely brought you here, but if you are unfamiliar with them, or this flagship lo-watt 6-12w version in particular, get thee to emerysound(dot)com and prepare to have your mind blown.  

I requested a custom walnut amp head and speaker cab to match up visually with a William Jeffrey Jones walnut/maple fretless six string guitar, but ended up it's been my Huber Orca Jr. that's taken to the headroom available through the amp.  I'm getting more mileage out of my Microbaby and 10" cab —and some other amp makes— overall, so even though the Superbaby IMHO is the better and more dynamic setup compared to the Microbaby, and don't underestimate how L O U D this 6-12w low-watt amp can be with certain tube combinations, it's the one going to the Reverb market.

Ships with a stock tube setup — 5Y3 rectifier, TungSol RI 6L6 output tube, and 12AX7.  Amp intentionally designed so tubes don't require biasing.  If you have one of his Mad Scientist tube kits, you can swap out combinations exponentially and really go downtown.  If you don't have a Mad Scientist, email Curt and order one.

Very rarely used and only at home.  Excellent to mint condition.  From a smoke free environment, all that. 

Am selling the amp+enclosed head, and speaker cab, as a pair — since they are matched walnut.  The custom wood variation added ten weeks to the order timeline in 2008.  If you're really hot for the amp only, let me know and maybe there's a conversation.  

Shipping includes FedEx Ground CONUS.  If you are other than CONUS (whether US or international addresses) and interested, drop me a line.
