Description
The Watkins WEM Pick-A-Back Piggyback Electric Guitar Amplifier is a hidden gem from the golden era of British amplification, dating back to around 1963. This ultra-rare valve amp is a must-have for collectors and musicians seeking that classic British tone without breaking the bank. Known for its unique "piggy-back" design, this amp stacks a 14W valve head on top of a separate speaker cabinet, offering portability and vintage charm.
Boasting two channels and two inputs, each equipped with individual volume, bass, and treble controls, the Pick-A-Back delivers a versatile range of sound that can cater to various playing styles. Its dual 10" speakers provide a rich and full-bodied sound, perfect for those who crave the authentic warmth and breakup of vintage tube amplifiers. Whether you're playing in a small venue or jamming in your studio, this amp stands out with its distinctive tonal character.
While it requires a step-up transformer for use in countries with 110-117v mains supplies, it's a small trade-off for owning a piece of history. The amp is in very good condition and has been recently serviced, ensuring it performs as excellently as it did decades ago. For those seeking a rare find that offers both historical significance and superb sound, the Watkins WEM Pick-A-Back is an exceptional choice.
