This has got to be the cleanest sounding amps I have ever have seen Willy Nelson uses these for live performances I can understand why. It’s in really Great shape for its age and works great, Thanks
It was around the same time in 1965 that Baldwin began building guitar amplifiers. All assembly took place in the Fayetteville, AR, organ plant, which was supervised by Stan Krueger. Baldwin amps utilized a very innovative design from the late 1960s with a solid-state chassis. Another unique feature of Baldwin guitar amplifiers is the “Supersound” tone circuit controlled by the colorful push buttons on the right-hand side of the control panel. These were basically pre-set EQ settings for Treble, Mid 1, Mid 2, Bass, and a mix. A three-way toggle switch allowed the user to switch between normal operation, Supersound operation, and dual operation. All of these effects could be switched while in operation, and according to Baldwin’s factory catalog, “Hear it, and you might think it’s a happening,” whatever that means!
While your amp says it is a “Professional” it is actually the Model C1 (Custom Amplifier with Supersound). It features 45W power RMS (125W peak), 2x12” Baldwin-designed nylon-reinforced speakers, two channels, tremolo, reverb, four inputs (two per channel), nine knobs (Ch. 1: Volume, Bass, Treble, Ch. 2: Volume, Bass, Treble, Tremolo Speed, Tremolo Intensity, and Reverb), and the Supersound circuit with five push-buttons and a three-way switch. A two-button footswitch is included as well. It’s all encased with attractive baby blue side panels, a black speaker grille, and a brushed aluminum control panel. We’re talking serious ‘60s groove here, baby!
