GA-40 Les Paul Amplifier






This late 50's model is a good example of valve technology of the period and is in excellent original condition (except for the cabinet, of course). These amps were all tube, class A, point-to-point hand wired and are built to last. At this time, the GA-40 had a tube configuration of: a 5Y3 rectifier; 12AX7 inverter; two 5879's (1 per channel) in the pre-amp stage; two 6V6 output (power) tubes; and, a 6SQ7 for the tremolo. It was rated at 40 watts and had one 12" Jensen speaker. "Chickenhead" knobs and a "jeweled" power lamp top off the classic features of these amps.
