Vintage Tube Amp

The 1485 was the most powerful tube-powered amp that Sears ever made available. At just a shade under 240 bucks, it was also the most expensive. The only thing missing was an’11′ on the volume dial. This amp was the MAX. History: This was my 1st guitar amp when I bought it new way back in the early 1960′s. It originally came with a speaker cabinet but that was replaced early on with a much larger speaker cabinet for the wall of speakers look/sound. The last time I used this amp (a few years ago) I used it to drive a pair of Bose 901′s as a PA & it sounded great. No speakers are included in this sale. Amplifier is a Sears Silvertone Model 1485 with 120 Watts of power. Excellent shape & has a lot of powerful sound. Amplifier has 2-channels with 2-inputs per channel. Only the 2nd channel offers reverb & tremolo option. All original electronics including the tubes. Original Reverb & Tremolo footswitch is included. Reverb seems to works fine and can be switched on/off by footswitch. Tremolo (when tested with a microphone – no guitar available) sounds like it works fine but. Seems to shut off with footswitch. All 4-Amplifier inputs work fine with the exception of the tremolo concern noted above. Black and is a little rough around the front edges.

Up for sale, a 1966 Silvertone model 1484 “Twin Twelve” piggyback tube amplifier, fully serviced and complete with the original Jensen C12Q speaker pair and full compliment of vintage USA-made tubes. Manufactured by Danelectro in the USA and marketed through Sears via their house brand “Silvertone, ” the 1484 was one of the top-tier department store amps of its day, and also an amp that’s found favor with todays players including Jack White and Beck. The 1484 “Twin Twelve” has an extremely smooth and rich breakup, with warm clean tones at low volumes that give way to a touch of tube overdrive at roughly half volume, and reach full tube saturation with a touch of compression anywhere beyond 7 on the dial. Both channels feature a pair of inputs (high and low) and both channels share the built-in Reverb and Tremolo effects. While the Tremolo has a nice strong pulse that gets quite thick and deep, the Reverb is infamous in its own right for its thin, trashy sound that’s perfect for lo-fi and surf tunes, with a unique gain structure and chiming top end character. The circuit has been serviced with just a few new signal caps in the preamp as needed, and the power supply has been rebuilt with all new electrolytics as well, with a modern three-prong power cable installed as well as a conventional 1/4 female jack on the head for ease of use with other cabinets. The original power transformer is intact, and the output transformer is a modern, factory-spec replacement. The original CTS pots date to the 17th week of 1966, and the speakers are the original pair of C12Q Jensen 12 drivers which date to the 21st week of’66. The tube compliment includes a matched pari of small bottle GE 6L6s, along with the matched set of original Silvertone-branded preamp tubes, manufactured by the likes of RCA and Amperex. All of the original barrel knobs are intact on the polished aluminum faceplate, which also retains all of the original black silkscreen text. The original gray textured covering and gold sparkle grillcloth are intact. The cabinets show some modest edge wear, particularly on the speaker cab, yet the grillcloth has plenty of sparkle in the thread, and both the head and speaker cab are structurally sound. This amp is gig-ready and fully serviced for optimal performance and longevity. Check out our shop “Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, ” and please let us know if we can answer any questions! We use double thick boxes, 1″ foam, and industrial 1/2″ bubble wrap to ensure that your amp arrives safely.

The model is 1474. Date code on the pots shows 13762xx. Missing all the tubes, except for one 6cg6, all the knobs , the fuse cap and the reverb unit. This amp uses 4 6L6 tubes , used in pairs, with a 5u4 rectifier. Someone before me recovered it long ago. Has original grill cloth. I know a few things about the 1474 , the 1484 and 1485 models. This amp is pretty much 2 1484 amps in one box but less powerful than the 1485 solid state rectifier of the Jack White model. This amp when repaired should put out about 40 to 45 watts a channel. The 1485 might get closer to 60 watts per channel. The item “Silvertone 1474 reverberation Twin Twelve Tube amp HEAD parts unit. Vintage1962″ is in sale since Saturday, October 10, 2020.
