Up for sale is a rare and sought-after 1940s Electromuse Model A46 Tube Amplifier, crafted in Chicago by the legendary Valco company (the same minds behind Supro, National, and Gretsch amps). This vintage gem is in Very Good Condition and has been recently serviced to ensure it’s in perfect working order. It offers a rich, dynamic tone, perfect for guitarists seeking that distinctive early American tube amp sound.
 
Key Features:
Made in Chicago by Valco in the 1940s.
Black Vinyl Finish with smooth, well-preserved covering.
Dimensions:
Height: 18 1/2 inches (47 cm)
Width: 15 1/2 inches (39.4 cm)
Depth: 9 inches (22.9 cm)
Original Components: Mostly original internally, with a few replaced parts and a new 3-prong power cord for safety. The amp retains its complete tube set, including two RCA 6V6 power tubes, 5Y3 rectifier, and 6SL7 and 6SN7 preamp tubes.
Vintage Speaker: The original Alnico 12" speaker has been replaced with a vintage 1950s Utah 12" speaker, which enhances the amp's tonal range.
Tone Control: Features two individual volume controls, a universal tone control, and a "Quality" control that acts as a presence knob for both channels, offering a broad tonal palette. The amp delivers sweet, clear clean tones and a gnarly overdrive when cranked.
Iconic Look: The amp retains its original back panels, RCA/Viz skirted knobs, and a striking red pilot light that gives it a signature retro aesthetic.
Cabinet: The cabinet is surprisingly clean for its age, with expected minor scuffs and wear around the corners, but no major damage. The original grillcloth is mostly intact, and the black vinyl covering still looks sharp.
Serviced and Ready to Rock: Recently serviced with all necessary replacements made, this amp is perfect for both playing and recording situations. It has a low noise floor, and the few original parts that needed to be replaced are included in the sale.
 
Sound Profile: The Electromuse A46 delivers a sound akin to the beloved Supro and Fender Tweed Deluxe amps from the same era. With its clear, dynamic clean tone and the ability to achieve smooth overdrive, it excels in both vintage warmth and aggressive grit. The subtle tonal differences between the channels allow for a range of sounds, from soft and sweet to gritty and raw when you push the volume.
 
Final Thoughts: This Electromuse A46 is a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern service, offering both sonic versatility and a cool, funky vibe. It’s an excellent choice for guitarists looking to add some classic American tone to their rig, whether for live performances or studio sessions.
