Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1960 Gretsch Electromatic Twin Model 6161 amplifier in excellent condition and in good working order. Virtually identical to the famed Gretsch “Roundup” amplifier and the National branded “Trem-o-Tone” except for the cosmetics, this USA-made Gretsch amp was produced, like every vintage Gretsch amp, by the Valco company in Chicago (home of Supro, National, Airline and more). For sweet tube saturated overdrive, you simply can’t beat these early Valco circuits. Tube rectified with a pair of 6973 power tubes and approximate 15 watt output, the preamp has a focused, midrange rich quality that is articulate, dynamic and just plain fun to play. With dual 6×11″ speakers and an original tweeter, the voicing is different than any amp with a standard 10″ or 12 speaker compliment and this amp is the perfect secret weapon for you studio! The circuit is a true representation of point-to-point wiring, with original solder joints and a partial recap to keep the amp running within original factory spec. The circuit is otherwise stock and untouched, with 6973 power tubes, paired with a trio of 12AX7 preamp tubes. The Rola 6×11 speakers sound great with their original cones and have clean’60 date stamps on the frames. The power cable has been upgraded to the modern three-prong variety. The original deep navy blue covering on the cabinet is in great shape, with stock white piping and even the original “Gretsch” logo still on the grillcloth. The small Valco serial number plaque is present, along with only light aging on the control panel and original knobs. This Gretsch 616 is notably clean, recently serviced, and ready for stage and studio work! Check out our shop “Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, ” and please let us know if we can answer any questions!
