This new single channel amp combines excellent tone and quality aesthetics and a not-so-expensive price point, and is available as a head or a combo amp. The Sweet 16 amp has 16 watts of cathode-biased 6v6 output tube power and is hand-wired in Stevensville, Maryland.

Under the Hood
The Sweet 16’s has a simple control layout that  includes volume, treble, mid, bass, master volume and a bright switch. The preamp section incorporates two 12AXT tubes and two 12AT7 tubes. The amp runs on Class A power, the tubes are biased to run a bit hotter than normal. There is also a tube-driven 3-spring Reverb. The back panel has an impedance selector and the speaker outputs.
