Fender Ramparte Pawn Shop Series 9-Watt 1x12"

Simple amp for simple players.

The Ramparte is a single-ended pure class A design producing about nine watts of power from a single 6L6, driven by a pair of 12AX7 preamp valves. The preamp design is about as simple as you can get: a pair of input sockets labelled Hot and Cool linking to a pair of similarly-named volume controls. That's it.

There are no concessions to modern players who might expect tone controls at least, let alone an effects loop and a speaker-emulated line out; the Ramparte is as uncompromising with its features as it is with its styling.
