Vintage Late 1940s- Early 50s Webster-Chicago RMA 375 Model 166-1 Tube Amp

WEBSTER-CHICAGO MODEL RMA 375 166-1 PORTABLE P.A. SYSTEM

Up for sale is Vintage and Classic WEBSTER-CHICAGO MODEL RMA 375 166-1 PORTABLE P.A. SYSTEM. This amplifier was designed and manufactured in the 1950’s and has been tagged by Guitar aficionados as a great sounding Guitar Amp. I’ve had this amp tucked away in my garage for well over 25 years. I may have fired it up when I first got it, but I never thought about using it as a Guitar Amp until I read an article online. I kept it simply because it seemed like a very interesting piece of history to me. I still have not fired it up. I prefer to let those who know and appreciate this piece to do so.

Now then, the Grill material is “yellowed”, which I recall that it was already that way when I got. Other then cleaning off the exterior dust, I decided to leave this amp alone. Being sold "AS IS"

The final paragraph of the article I read said the following: “Fired up and introduced to a Telecaster, this amp proves appealingly warm and mellow, with a beautiful sweetness to the notes. The core sound is clear and round – not so brown it’s indistinct and mushy – yet there’s no irritating bite in the treble whatsoever, just a very ear-caressing tone. Turned up, it’s chunky and just a bit raw, with a great natural rock-and-roll overdrive. And if it’s not all that loud, well, that’s the goal so many of us are chasing these days anyway, right? Meaty, toothsome tone at basement-friendly levels? Yes, please – and delivered with ease by this lusciously retro chunk of oxblood-covered tubular goodness.”
