Fender Pawn Shop Special Excelsior
MSRP: £298.80
They say:
“One of the most distinctive tube combo amps produced in Fender history, the alluringly refined Pawn Shop Special Excelsior harbours tones from polite, to raw and raucous… with a marked air of cold-war cool.”
We say:
Delightfully loony (it’s got a custom-voiced “accordion” circuit!), we’re not sure that the Excelsior will fly off the shelves in the same way we expect the Greta too, but it will certainly appeal to G.A.S. sufferers on a budget.
Essential specs:
13-watt valve combo with two 6V6 output tubes, two 12AX7 preamp tubes, three circuits (“instrument”, “microphone” and “accordion”), bright/dark tone switch and a quarter-inch internal speaker disconnect.
