I don’t understand why I’m not reading more about this amp on other guitar sites, this is the coolest looking amp I’ve seen released in a long time but I have to say I had no idea Duesenberg were even working on a new amp! Now I’m sure you’re all aware of Duesenberg Guitars with their retro cool styling, well they took that design philosophy and created a stunning new amp head and cabinet called the Berlin.
“The frame of this amp is made from wood which we then painted with a thin layer of metal particles. The metal coat is then processed and aged by hand, giving it the distinctive rusty patina which makes each build completely unique.”
The cabinet is made from lightweight multi-ply birch and is painted and processed the same way as the amp itself. It has a semi open back and houses a Celestion Alnico Gold 8 Ohm Speaker with 50W power handling.
Here are the amp specs:
- 45W tube amplifier (2 x 6L6WGC-STR matched power amp tubes, 2 x 12AX7 preamp tubes)
- Custom wound transformers (made in Germany)
- Dual channel amplifier with a cascading gain structure
- high dynamic clean channel, adjustable in Volume, Bass, Mid & Treble
- Boost channel extends clean channel, adjustable in Gain, Contour & Level
- Two preselectable Boost gain levels on the rear pannel (hi/low gain)
- Passive serial effects loop
- 4/8/16 Ohm outputs
- Footswitch for Boost
- Handmade in Germany
