A very simple amp probably quite a budget item in its day but with partridge transformers and simple design and build Carlsbro created a classic that will go on forever.

I picked up the 50 Top combo and apart from a very bright aluminium coned original speaker, its a total sleeper, amazing vintage tones! Very jtm45 to fender blackface tones that really sizzle when the amps turned up past midday. Just fire in a speaker of your choice or watch the treble with the original one and your anywhere from crystal clean country through Hendrix/SRV tones to ZZ Top tones that are the real deal. Thats the amp without pedals or in my case just a reverb and wah in front of it. Get one while you can is my advice!!!
