Blue Lamp TV
A reproduction of the classic Tweed Vibrolux with a warm, swampy bias-vary tremolo, built on a 10-inch Alnico speaker.
About this amp
The Blue Lamp TV reproduces the late-1950s narrow-panel Tweed Vibrolux circuit, sharing its cabinet size with the BL112 at slightly lower wattage. It ships with a stock 10” Alnico Jupiter speaker (12” upgrade available) and a warm, swampy bias-vary tremolo. Hand-wired, point-to-point on fiberboard construction, in a lacquered tweed-covered, finger-jointed pine cabinet — part of Headstrong’s original 2003 Blue Lamp line.
