Bumbox Lead 1 1-watt amp head. Here's the scoop from the site:

"This amp will deliver classic low end crackle and midrange crunch without taking the paint off the walls. At only 1w max, the Lead 1 delivers all tube response without the need of an attenuator or other load device. That means you aren't wasting power to get that cranked sound in your apartment or bedroom. The Lead 1 pushes a 4x12 effortlessly, so you won't need to buy a new cab to use with it. The Lead 1 performs best at conversational volumes even though there is more volume on tap.

Recommended speakers include Celestion Vintage 30, Greenback, Eminence Private Jack, Wizard, Governor, or other quality British voiced speaker. Closed back or sealed ported 2 -12" or 1 - 12" cabs are best. For enhanced low end, try the Eminence Big Ben."

Here's the specs.

Controls Gain - Treble - Middle - Bass - Master Volume
Preamp 2 - 12ax7's
Power section 1 - 6n1p (6cg7 and 6bq7 are compatible)

Just cash. I just bought a MIJ '52 Esquire and need to put the cash back in my bank account.

Heh. I have heard that this amp is really good at getting that sort of early EVH heavily-pushed-plexi sound. In fact, I think that's kind of what they were going for.
