The Lil Bastard is a Tweed 59 Bassman 5F6A side by side with a Plexi style circuit and few personal tweaks to make it special, neatly handwired inside a high quality American made chassis.
The single input allows the two circuits to be blended or used separately. Two switches were added to make the amp more configurable. One, the Plexi on/off switch to defeat the aggressive Plexi tone and drive (when it is not needed) and two, a Girth switch to beef up the Tweed and Plexi gain.
Since the Bassman and the Plexi circuits have different values for negative feedback a pot on the back allows you to dial in the amount of extra “hair” to suit your ear. With humbuckers the amp goes from “jazzy fat” to complex power amp over drive with great harmonics. Depending on settings you can get a great JTM45 sound as well as straight Plexi snarl.
Controls include Tweed volume, Plexi volume, treble, middle, bass, presence,
Plexi on off bright switch, Girth switch.
Rear panel has On/0ff, standby, 2 speaker outs, control pot to adjust looseness or tightness
While the initial intent of the amp was to be on its own without a pedal board,
it is a pedal board hound. Single coil guitars spank, and rip it up with a pedal board.
Features for the Lil’ Bastard
Hand wired on military style turret board
American made transformers by Magnetic Components
2 channels internally jumpered and completely mixable blendable to your taste
Very quiet operation
This one is:
20 watt 2- 6V6 Model
Also comes with a full wrap around cover
See more samples at Rocknrollamps.com
As with all amps Shipping may vary dependent on your location. I am slightly flexible with the price but low ball offers will NOT be considered.
