Lil King-S Combo
A single-channel 20-30 watt amp built to push the Princeton Reverb circuit further -- louder and tighter with more low-end headroom, tube reverb and tremolo included.
About this amp
The Lil King-S takes the standard Lil King circuit and re-biases it for more headroom, running a stock pair of 6L6GC tubes (also compatible with 6V6 or KT66/77/88 with a re-bias) for 20-30 watts. It keeps the Princeton Reverb-style tube reverb and tremolo and simple front panel, in a 10” or 12” speaker combo or head. Fully hand-wired, with alnico speaker upgrades, extension cabinets, and extra color options available.
