Marla Amplification S15Classic | Polyurethane Natural | Handwired | 15 Watts | 12in Combo

The only American-made, handwired tube combo amp under $1,000.

Overseas-made tube amps exist at this price. Nothing else is handwired point-to-point and built domestically for under a grand. The S15C doesn't cut corners to get there. A single 6L6 pushes 15 watts of pure Class A power through a 12" Mojotone Anthem speaker, with the touch sensitivity and harmonic response that vintage amps are known for. Roll back your guitar volume for crystalline cleans. Dig in and it breaks up with rich, complex overtones that no modeling amp can replicate.

The Controls The wide-sweep LPF handles your treble the way you'd expect from a classic amp tone control. The HPF is different. It's not a bass knob — it's a tonal gateway. Push extra low end into the power section and the S15C transforms: tight, modern lows give way to spongy vintage grit and squared-off fuzz-like drive. Most amps need a pedalboard to get there. The S15C does it with one knob.

Build Hand-stuffed, hand-soldered, and hand-tested in Asheville, NC. Orange Drop caps for midrange clarity, Mojotone KingCaps for dead-quiet operation, Hammond and Heyboer transformers for punch and authority. 20"×20"×9" solid pine cabinet with a semi-open back. Handwired point-to-point — built to be gigged, not coddled.

At 26 lbs, it goes anywhere. It sounds bigger than it looks.
