CloseThis amp is in good condition, but has been used and shows some wear. Most notably, there is a large rip in the tolex on the lower left corner of the front of the amplifier, and there are some assorted scratches, dents, and scuffs in the tolex elsewhere over the amp. This amp is also a bit dusty on the inside and could use a quick cleanup. This amp has also had the Deep/Bright switch replaced with a pot. Overall, this amp looks great and sounds incredible. Original cover not included.
Alluringly refined yet harboring tones from polite to raw to raucous, the Pawn Shop Special Excelsior model is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive tube combo amps in Fender history. Its brown textured vinyl covering, smartly stylish "E" grille design and bold crossed-swords front-panel badge convey a decidedly stately vibe with a marked air of cold-war cool.
To say nothing of its admirable tone and power. The 13-watt Excelsior elegantly encloses a single 15" Special Design speaker, with a bottom-loaded primary chassis and top-loaded control chassis for operating convenience and low noise (powered by two 6V6 output tubes and two 12AX7 preamp tubes). Distinctive features include "GTR," "microphone" and "accordion" inputs that each have individually optimized circuitry; tremolo circuit with speed control, bright/dark tone switch (for treble or bass emphasis), volume control and 1/4" internal speaker disconnect that lets the amp drive an external speaker enclosure. For playing at home, smaller gigs and studio sessions, the Excelsior is a class act that brings a fresh and unconventional new vibe to your playing.
