Okay, so what's this ??

Nice back, how about the face?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a pawno special from Fender for the retro nuts. Sporting a massive 15" speaker and 13 watts of pure valve tone this amp will blah. The Excelsior houses a two part chassis with the pre-amp section bolted in the usual place and the power amp laying across the floor of the cabinet, how oldy '50's wireless' used to be. The only give away to question the vintage of the amp is the modern IEC socket and the tube cage of which neither would have been seen in a very old steel guitar amp as this is probably modeled on. There are three input jack sockets for guitar, microphone or (wait for it) an accordion. There is no tone control, just a bright/dark slide switch. There is a one knob (speed) tremolo that I suspect isn't tube driven and it all comes optimized. There is the much asked for extension speaker socket so you can jack it up your quad box. Why? I will never know. At best the Excelsior will be a great one-sounding amp with creamy distortion and will possibly become 'the' happening blues-harp amp to have.
