Silvertone 1484 “Twin Twelve” Tube Head and Cab

Origin: USA

Approx. time of manufacture: Mid-1960s

Power requirements: Original hardwired cable has been replaced professionally with a grounded detachable IEC cable (included)

Operational Condition: This unit was just serviced in the last couple of years and sounds fantastic although the previous owner opted to not have the Reverb and Trem serviced. Reverb is currently not working and Trem is somewhat weak.

Cosmetic Condition: Good (-) with several rips in the tolex, small hole in the back of the chassis where a previous input jack was, missing back panels on head and cab and some added wood on the back for support. This workhorse has been around the block and back and has the battle scars to prove it! 6.5 out of 10 condition

Description:

Perhaps the ultimate underdog amp (if that makes any sense at all); the Silvertone 1484 sounds big, punchy, musical and well.. a little trashy to be honest.That trashiness is part of the appeal of these Sears store sweethearts. Jack White, Dan Auerbach, Lou Reed, Nick Valenci, Beck and many, many more have used and made great music with the help of these wonders!
