Chubster 40
A 40-watt, 2-channel EL-34 combo with footswitchable boosts on each channel, delivering both American clean and British-flavored gain from one amp.
About this amp
An affordably priced 40-watt EL-34 combo with two fully independent, differently voiced preamp channels (American and British), each with its own footswitchable boost for four dial-up-able tones. Housed in an extra-deep open-back cabinet with a Celestion 70/80 speaker for a bigger sound than its size suggests, plus a preamp/power-amp patch loop and line out.
