What do you know about them? Have you played one? What do they sound like? Any information about them would be helpful. Thanks.

Re: Sears Silvertone Amps?
It was over 20 years ago. I seem to recall that they are very clean, very loud, and I seem to remember that it was tough to get to distort, I had to crank it all the way up to distort it. Don't recall the tone so much since I was an idiot.

Re: Sears Silvertone Amps?
I had one of the 2x6L6 amps. It sounded a lot like my old Bassmans. It broke up really nicely and had headroom after the point where it broke up. That's going through either a 4 or a 2x12. The stock 15 cab sucked.

I've owned a couple of the Silvertone Twin Twelves. Cheap but very cool! The reverb is useless but the tremolo is very bluesy. To me, the Silvertones have a great tone for rootsy soulful bluesy kind of stuff. Kind of a cool "swampy" tone. Lew

Re: Sears Silvertone Amps?
I had several of them a few years ago...Im with Lew...very cool for roots music. IMO te prices are now way too high for what you get but if you can get a deal on one grab it!

Interesting about what lew said. I heard that most of them were very bright. Almost too bright. I know a guy who knows a guy whose selling one of the 6X10 combos but it sounds like somebody took a stick and stirred up its brains so I dunno about that one. Its the first Ive ever heard of the brand though. Im gonna keep my eyes open for these though they sound pretty cool. Thanks for the insight.

I believe that is what Jack White from the White Stripes uses. I think his stage set up uses 3 of the 6x10s. I've never heard them in person but they sound intriguing. You can usually find a few on Ebay.
