The ValveTrain 535

The ValveTrain 535 is our take on the mid-power amps from the late 50’s. Powered by a duet of Vintage Style 5881 tubes running in fixed bias, this amp produces a wide spectrum of harmonically rich clean tones that are great for jazz and traditional country. Crank it up for a walk down memory lane to vintage rock & roll.

We have added oversize transformers and own custom selected blend of a 12" and a 10" speaker. This all-tube combo amp has hand-wired circuitry, which puts a very strong 35 watts into a specially selected speakers. Power comes from a matched pair of 5881 output tubes and a 5U4 rectifier.

The 535’s preamp contains a 12AY7 and a pair of high-gain 12AX7 tubes to produce an original ‘50s low-gain sound.

Control panel details include normal and bright volumes, four inputs (two normal; two bright), bass, treble and presence controls.

The 535’s solid pine cabinet resonates with a warm, woody tone. The amp is covered in your choice of Tolex or Tweed finishes with matching vintage grille cloth. A heavy duty leather strap handle lets you safely transport the 535.
