This Tungsten Cortez 1x12 Combo Amp is a fantastic vintage-inspired 5E3 tube amp made by our friend Adam over at Tungsten Amplification. Versatile, and incredibly well made, this amp is the circuit heard on countless recordings. Dial back the volume and you've got nice, yet edgy, cleans. This Cortez sports 6v6 tubes, 12AX7 preamp tubes and a 5Y3 rectifier giving you 12 watts through a custom designed 12" Weber T12Q Alnico speaker. There's one Tone knob, with Bright and Normal Volume controls, and four inputs.

As for versatility—it doesn't get much better than this Cortez, because this amp is cathode biased, swapping power tubes is just a matter of plugging them in. Either 6L6 or 6v6. No re-biasing necessary. Likewise, the preamp section accepts 12AX7, 12AU7, 12AY7, 12AT7 and 5751 tubes, giving you a great deal of control over your tone. With 6L6s, this will give 18 watts. This Tungsten Cortez 1x12 Combo Amp gives you fantastic tweed deluxe tone at a great price.

  • 12 watts with 6V6s (included); 18 watts with 6L6s (not included)
  • 2 6V6 Tubes (can accept 6L6 power tubes as well); 2 12AX7; 1 5Y3 rectifier
