Amplification inpired by the great blues recordings made in the 1950s.
Ten years ago we discovered a very special Masco ME18 commercial amplifier that was a paradigm changer. Inspired by the unique qualities of the 6SJ7 pentode tube, a journey began to create a circuit that would fully compliment the tone that blues harmonica players seek. What we came up with became the MegaTone WEZO ME18, and now offer you in a variety of different heads for you to use with your favorite speaker cabinet.
To celebrate this history, we now offer a deluxe version that includes real spring tube driven reverb. There are two versions of the compact metal cabinet models with and without reverb. We also offer the WEZO ME18 in a variety of wooden cabinet styles, plus we make a version in an old vintage HP signal generator with the big knob. You can choose between either flame Maple or two ply plastic control panels for the compact metal versions.
In a custom padded Tuki pouch, we assemble burned-in matched power tubes together with a new old stock pentode preamp tube that is performance tested. Also included is a driver preamp tube and rectifier, plus a pair of both fuses. This pouch can be mounted inside your speaker cabinet or stowed in your gig bag.
