Selling my Louis Electric KR12 1x12.
Phenomenal sounding amp - best I have every played through or owned for domains of Tweed/Plexi. It's very loud but can sound good at moderate levels. Tons of flexibility and great cleans as well as all manner of growl.

Amp has a few Tolex wears and tears but not much and generally to the eye looks quite clean.
Sounds beautiful - and the cab is sturdy and really projects nicely. Utterly magic and resonant tones.

Comes w foot switch.

ABOUT
The KR12 is an EL34-based, single 12″ combo, basing its tonal response on a 1959 Fender Tweed Twin, this 40 watt powerhouse offers incredible tonal flexibility, from classic late '50s Tweed tones to mid-1960s Plexi textures. The KR12 is a result of Louis Rosano’s long standing work with Hubert Sumlin and Keith Richards. The amp's four inputs offer different levels of gain from crisp, crunchy throatiness to a hefty vintage rock bark.

Based on the Louis Electric M12 used by Sumlin, the KR12 has several gain options and unmatched headroom, but preserves the warmth of a 1950s/60s vintage amp. The KR12 has Volume and Master Volume controls, Treble/Bass/Mid EQ controls and a Presence knob.
