From the manufacturer: With a nod to the late 50's era tweed 5F1, this is much more than just a common reproduction. With superior components and updated layouts, this amp just sounds better. From its near zero noise floor to its full bodied tonal clarity, this amp is perfect in the studio and on stage. If you are a guitarist or harmonica player, this kit will provide you with great construction fun and unsurpassed tweed tone. This amp was meant to be played often and kept forever...and your audiences will rejoice.
