Love this amp.

Really great recording amp. Low wattage and breaks up beautifully.

looks like a maestro branded tweed Gibson from around 1960. Tube complement?

  1. Only 135 of them made. 6V6's and 6au7's. 12" speaker.

yeah, Gibson tweeds were made in very limited numbers which is a shame because they sound pretty great across the board. I really enjoyed my GA14 titan for years, moreso than the Fender 5D3 I owned. I am really kinda kicking myself for letting my now ex-wife talk me into selling it! Your Maestro sounds like an early Gibson Falcon base on its tube compliment. You should save yourself some hassle and ewire the 6EU7 sockets to be 12AX7s. They are virtually the same dual tride other than the pin out. For awhile you will still be able to score RCA and GE NOS EU7s on the cheap, but pretty soon they will dry up and you will wanna be able to use current production pres.

I use this so much I wish it was attached to my foot.

I would be lost without this pedal. Miles better than the Ernie Ball. Tired of breaking those strings. Fantastic pedal.

Really inspiring amp to play.

I've been playing boutique stuff for a bunch of years and when I went back to a stock Fender amp I was blown away. It was actually the sound I had been missing.

My favorite big amp setup that I ever had was a Vox AC30 and a Fender Bassman. I feel like I've come full circle in a much smaller package. I'm now a Blues Jr and a Fender Princeton. The combined 27 watts of power sound fantastic together.
