Website description:
The limited-edition, 75th-anniversary "1939" Century Amp is a modern 18W all-tube, combo with a 12" speaker that revives an Art Deco-era masterpiece from Epiphone's early days in Manhattan.
The Epiphone "1939" Century is a faithful replica of the classic 1930s-era cabinet design, including bent rims, an all-metal handle, 6-point star screws and vintage-style grill cloth but with newly designed all-tube electronics. Plus, the "1939" Century includes three uniquely voiced inputs and an internal bias adjustment for further tone control.
In the late 1930s, Epiphone was already blazing a trail for what founder Epi Stathopoulo saw as the future-the electric guitar. And, now, in the 21st century, the "1939" Century Amp returns with a modern all-tube amp design with a powerful, full-toned 12" Electar speaker in a compact, easy-to-carry, cabinet
