Up for sale, a 1962 Gibson GA77 RVT Vanguard 1×15 tube amp in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. Freshly serviced and extremely original and well-kept, this amp is in many ways Gibson’s equivalent of Fender’s Vibroverb. A two-channel affair with a freshly biased pair of 6L6 power tubes and 15 Jensen C15N driver, this Gibson offers smooth, robust clean tones with both warmth and sparkling top end clarity. Pushing the amp hard at higher volumes delivers a touch of compression and cascades into overdrive, with plenty of ambient splash provided by the spring reverb on Channel Two. The second channel also features a two-knob tremolo with a strong pulse. The trio of original transformers and choke are intact, manufactured by Triwec and Magnetic Components Inc, all dating to 1962. The circuit is hand-wired on a tag board, and the circuit has been fully recapped to ensure optimal functionality and tone. The original pots are intact, along with the full compliment of black reflector caps with red pointers, and the aluminum faceplate retains all of its original silkscreen text. The tube compliment includes a brand new pair of properly biased 6L6 JJ power tubes as well as a host of vintage preamp tubes, many of which are the stock Gibson-branded valves. The speaker is the original Jensen C15N with a clean silver frame, Jensen foil sticker on the magnet cover, and date stamp on the edge of the frame from the 47th week of 1961. The amp retains its original smooth brown tolex and oxblood grillcloth with aluminum trim. The raised plastic Gibson badge is fully intact on the amp’s face, and the stock handle is present too. There’s only light wear on the tolex, primarily on the bottom edge of the cabinet. The original two-button footswitch is included.

Up for sale, a 1965 Supro Thunderbolt in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This legendary tube amp was made in the USA by Valco and comes complete with a fresh compliment of JJ tubes. Lightly compressed, focused and incredibly rich sounding, the Thunderbolt pushes 35 watts through a pair of 6L6 power tubes and a Jensen C15N speaker. For everything from clean, wooly rhythm tones to saturated tube overdrive further up on the volume dial, the Thunderbolt delivers a pure sound with a simple yet ingenious circuit and only two knobs for Volume and Tone. This is the earlier iteration of the Thunderbolt with a tube rectified circuit that has that quintessential sag. The circuit is thoroughly serviced and extremely clean, with both transformers dating the amp to 1965. The preamp has been fully recapped to ensure the amp responds as per factory spec and two new Alpha pots were also installed. The chassis is notably clean with chrome that shows only light surface patina and original black silkscreen graphics and knobs. The amp has been retolexed in correct “midnight blue vinyl” with silver sparkle grillcloth. There is some wear on one side of the cabinet and one notable spot on top where it appears the texture of the tolex melted. If you’re looking for the essential Valco/Supro tone for recording or live use, look no further than the Thunderbolt!
