18-watt, all-valve, 1x12" combo with Tremolo The 1974X is a Class-A, all-valve, 18 Watt, two-channel, 1x12" combo with valve driven tremolo. The original versions of this wonderful sounding amplifier were produced between the years 1966 and 1968 and are now extremely rare and much sought after. The 1974X is an extremely straightforward amplifier. Channel 1 (the non-tremolo channel) only boasts two, self-explanatory controls: Volume and Tone; while Channel 2, the Tremolo Channel, boasts four - namely Volume and Tone, plus Speed and Intensity for the valve driven tremolo circuit. Our proprietary, re-issued and 'aged' 20 Watt Celestion speaker also contributes to the combo's unique, punchy yet smooth sound. As a result, when 'cranked' the 1974X is incredibly touch sensitive, cleaning up or, if desired, sitting right on the edge of distortion when the guitar's volume is turned down. It responds well to picking dynamics too, 'sagging' nicely when you play like you really mean it and, once again, cleaning up as you pull back on your picking attack.
The 1974CX is a 1x12", 20 Watt, extension speaker cabinet designed for use with the 1974X combo, using the same proprietary 'aged' Celestion speaker as the combo. The speaker is handwired to the mono jack connector using heavy grade wire and the cabinet is built to our traditional high standards. It is a perfect match sonically and cosmetically.
