Description
Step into the past with the Milkman Sound Beekeeper, a single-channel, low-wattage amplifier that pays homage to the iconic "tweed" Bassman era of amps. Masterfully designed by Milkman to sound like a "B-style" amp, the Beekeeper dishes out pristine, clean, and punchy tones that flirt with saturation, all while offering reduced wattage, size, and weight.
The Bee Keeper boasts a custom Soursound transformer set, expertly designed to mirror the winding structure of the Triad 45249 transformer found in the 5F6 Bassman amplifier. But that's not all - the output transformer features a pair of 6V6 output tubes with cathode bias, and the interleaving matches the original seven-section build. What does that mean? This amp has a delightfully open-sounding top-end, a gorgeous, airy quality, and a sweet, honey-like tone.
Complete with a 3-band EQ for dynamic tone-shaping, the Milkman Sound Beekeeper is the perfect amp for guitarists looking to experience a new flavor of the coveted Fender Bassman amplifier.
