About this amp
The Starlite is a highly-requested low-power amp built around a single-ended 5-watt 6V6 design. A 12AX7 preamp and a uniquely-tuned tone control spanning Black Panel and Tweed-era voicing shape the sound, with a negative feedback control adding extra gain range and an 8-ohm remote speaker jack for external cabs.
