Who doesn't love '50s tweed amps?? They are a favorite here at Keytone Amps! We asked ourselves, "How can we take some of these old, classic designs and make something cool, compact, & RELEVANT?"
We, proudly, introduced the Keytone Amps Belvidere! It's been a year or so in-the-making. How did we answer the proposed question? Well.... we took elements of the classic 5F4 & the 5E5 and combined them. We didn't just stop there though. Remember, our goal was a relevancy. To achieve that, we produced an amp with these features:
post phase-inverter master volume (Sounds great from roar to whisper!)
tamed the tweed low end, so the amp plays nicely with all pedals (dirt, mod, delay, & verb)
Squeezed the amp into a smaller chassis to reduce weight – if desired, this also allows for the amp to be housed in more compact cabinets (combo or head)
30 Watts from cathode biased 5881 tubes
Bass & Treble controls with VERY sensitive, tone-shaping sweeps
12AY7, 12AX7 (2), 5881 (2), 5U4
Available in 1x12 or 2x10 combo configurations or as a head only
