The Double Nickel began as a one-off amp for a customer in Los Angeles. He wanted an amplifier built around his stash of vintage 7355 tubes. Since we are in the business of designing great sounding tube amps, we were more than happy to take on the challenge. We tweaked the Nickel Box design by beefing up the transformers and redesigning the output stage to suit the 8 pin beam power pentode. We liked the results so much that we decided to add a variation of this powerful singled-ended design to our amplifier lineup.
The Double Nickel utilizes a lone 6L6-GC in the output stage to produce a wide-range of rich single-ended tones. With 12W of power and a super sensitive Eminence Wizard speaker, the Double Nickel will definitely wake the neighbors.
