Alluringly refined yet harboring tones from polite to raw to raucous,
the Pawn Shop Special Excelsior model is undoubtedly one of the
most distinctive tube combo amps in Fender history. Its brown
textured vinyl covering, smartly stylish “E” grille design and bold
crossed-swords front-panel badge convey a decidedly stately vibe
with a marked air of cold-war cool.
To say nothing of its admirable tone and power. The 13-watt
Excelsior elegantly encloses a single 15” Special Design speaker,
with a bottom-loaded primary chassis and top-loaded control
chassis for operating convenience and low noise (powered by two
6V6 output tubes and two 12AX7 preamp tubes). Distinctive
features include “guitar,” “microphone” and “accordion” inputs
that each have individually optimized circuitry; tremolo circuit with
speed control, bright/dark tone switch (for treble or bass emphasis),
volume control and 1/4” internal speaker disconnect that lets the
amp drive an external speaker enclosure. For playing at home,
smaller gigs and studio sessions, the Excelsior is a class act that
brings a fresh and unconventional new vibe to your playing.
