Description

A vintage 1965 Rickenbacker Electro E12 tube combo amp. The Electro-branded E12 features a circuit identical to the Rickenbacker B9A. This amp features a bigger cabinet and speaker than most 5-watt single-ended amps from the era. The result is a harmonically complex tone with plenty of single-ended "swirl" without the boxy tone associated with student-grade combo amps. The E12 also featres a fantastic bias-oscillate tremolo. This amp has been cleaned and serviced. It is fully functional and sounds great.
