About this amp
Originally designed for pedal steel and now equally popular with 6-string players, the 85W is Milkman’s flagship model. A quad of 6L6 output tubes conservatively rated at 85 watts can put out closer to 115, giving it enormous clean headroom, paired with a 3-knob tube reverb system. This 1x12 combo comes loaded with a Milkman Alnico speaker, hand-wired onto a turret board with custom Soursound transformers.
