Hip Kitty showcases new combo amp
The cool cats at Hip Kitty had a new, retro-styled combo amp on display at the 2010 Nashville Amp Expo. The Panetone 1×12 is a ‘tall’ combo amp rated at 25 watts and powered by a pair of 6V6s. The amp also is fitted with NOS RCA 5751 pre-amp tubes. According to the Hip Kitty crew, the amp’s specially designed transformers and rated/matched 5751s set it in a class all by itself. The Panetone’s sliver face plate sports controls for Master Volume, Presence, Bass, Middle, Treble and Volume and two instrument inputs. The amp comes stock with a new Jensen Falcon 12″ speaker. The Panetone was offered for order at show for $1,100.
