The 30
watt Model #8888-B amplifier was designed with bass in mind, but
was suitable for any electric instrument, as was the case with most amps
in the 1950's. This tube amp used 5881 tubes (versus the more
commonly used 6L6), as well as 12AX7, 12AT7, 6SF5 and 5U4 tubes.
It had 3 inputs - one for a microphone and two for instruments, which
was also reasonably standard for the era. Speakers consisted of
four Jensen 8" Concert models. It had a built-in tremolo unit with
speed and depth controls, as well as master volume for the mic channel,
master volume for the instrument channel and master tone control.
The Model #8888-B sold for $149.90.
It
could also be ordered with a single 15" Jensen speaker (the Model #15-B)
for $139.90. |
