Drawing inspiration from the 50 Top, made over 30 years ago, Carlsbro has created a new line of all-tube guitar amplifiers.
The single channel 50 Top valve head is being re-issued exactly as it was 30 years ago.
Following original 70's specifications with military spec hand wiring, chassis mounted porcelain valve bases and heavy gauge welded steel chassis, the 50 Top Reissue comes in the original black vinyl with yellow panel cosmetics.
Carlsbro is also expanding up the 50 Top design with the 50 Top Evolution, providing two channel operation. The 50 Top Evolution also features an effects loop, half-power switch, and an automatic mute function when no instrument is plugged in.
If a head doesn't suit your needs, Carlsbro also has the 59 Spirit 1x12 combo. This amp is basically the 50 Top in a combo package plus an Accutronics reverb.
