In the playfully diminutive form of a vintage tabletop radio, the
Pawn Shop Special Greta model is quite possibly the most unusual
Fender tube amp ever. In fact, nobody would blame you if you saw
a Greta and, not yet realizing its true identity, tried to tune in the
local weather on it…
But an amp is exactly what it is-a two-watt tabletop beauty with a 4”
Special Design speaker, old-school VU meter with “clean to
overload” indicator display and simple volume and tone controls. Its
charmingly vintage-style enclosure has front and rear wood panels
finished in bright red, gold-finished metal top and sides for
increased shielding, “Greta” script badge on the front panel and
tabletop feet. Under the hood and on the back panel, the Greta
features a single 12AT7 output tube and 12AX7 preamp tube, with
a 1/4” instrument jack and 1/4” line out jack (for preamp use with
another amplifier). Greta produces a variety of low-volume clean
and overdriven guitar tones, but even if you never plug a guitar into
it, the 1/8” back-panel auxiliary input is perfect for iPod or other
media player use, with great mono tube playback sound that’ll have
you rocking right there at your desk
