Description
Here we have a vintage Gibson BR-9 tube guitar combo amplifier! This one looks to be from 1950 and is in good condition overall. The chassis seems to be remounted on plywood, and it has seen internal maintenance with a modern 3 prong grounded power cable installed. The speaker, tubes, transformer, and control knob all appear to be original. It has 6V6 power with a 6SJ7 preamp tube and a 5Y3 rectifier tube. There are dual inputs with a single volume control. The amp sounds great, and really drives easily. It has very nice tone overall, though not much headroom.
