Silvertone 1482 (1964)

The Danelectro made Silvertone 1482 was introduced in 1963 and was one of the most popular catalog amps throughout the 1960s. The 1482 was very similar to the short lived 6G3 Fender Brownface Deluxe with an incredible tremolo circuit but has a bit earlier break up than the Deluxe. This one came with a square baffle which was used mid-run.  However, the cardboard baffle was so soft we cut a new one from birch ply.  Sounds a lot better as result.  It also has the original Fisher 12" speaker, which is rare enough, but the presence original footswitch puts it into rockinghorse shit territory.  It did have a non-original, and massively underpowered, US power transformer in it when I bought it.  I have replaced with the somewhat expensive UK voltage replacement from Mercury.  All the above make this an abolutely top-of-the-range example of this outstanding amp.   This is a great sounding amp, the trem is shockingly good, very different from any others I've heard.  A significant number of people describe this as their favourite amp of all time.  Come and give it a listen and you'll understand why.
