Own a piece of local legend! While most associate Valco with Chicago, this 1946 Oahu Tone Master carries the iconic Cleveland, Ohio branding from Oahu’s headquarters. This isn't just a vintage amp; it’s a hometown hero of the post-war era.

Specifications:

• The Octal Secret: Powered by dual 6V6GTs with 6SL7/6SN7 octal preamp tubes. This combination delivers a thick, smoky, and harmonically rich "thump" that modern 12AX7-based amps simply cannot replicate.
• Legendary Overdrive: Sweet and woody at low volumes; when pushed, it blooms into a gritty, "wicked" overdrive that is a secret weapon for studio recording and slide guitar.
• Art Deco Aesthetic: Features the unmistakable two-tone brown/tan or fabric styling with original chicken-head knobs.
• Touch Sensitive: The Volume and Tone controls are incredibly interactive, cleaning up beautifully with your guitar’s volume knob.
