Introducing the latest member to the Sherlock Family, the Buddy 15 Guitar amp
Perfect for small gigs, recordings or just taking around to a mates
place for a jam.
This little amp features a 12 inch speaker powered by an El84, 15
watt; class A push pull output stage. We wanted to keep this amp as
simple as possible so we have included only the bear essentials like
a single Input, a Volume, and a Tone control.
But don't be fooled this little amp can provide a very decent clean
volume but when push into blues territory produces creamy rich break
up and is quite loud. And now due to popular demand, the Buddy has Reverb.
