Garnet Gnome 5w 1x8" 6V6 Electric Guitar Combo Amp (1975)

The Garnet Gnome is still a bit of a hidden gem in the low wattage amp world. Starting in the mid 60's Garnet amps were made in Winnipeg, Manitoba. These Canadian made amps are still some of the best value on the vintage amp market. 

The Gnome features a single 6V6 power tube, two 12AX7 preamp tubes for 5 watts of all tube amp and is outfitted with a Marsland 8" speaker. 

Additional features include normal and brite inputs, treble and bass controls, and a tremolo circuit with speed and depth controls. It does not come with a footswitch to turn on and off the tremolo circuit.
