The Austin SURF KING amplifier is our adorable, yet passionately ferocious 50W Tube Amplifier.
Designed as a newer, lighter, modern homage to a vintage Fender Showman 15" Amplifier, The SURF KING is plenty loud if you need it, but has a manageable volume control for smaller venues.
Hand-wired, hand-made, point-to-pont construction, with all new, reliable components that won't drift with temperature. Brush-glued and hand-tooled Tolex (not spray adhesive), powder coated and laser-engraved chassis with Pine cabinets that deliver extra warmth from the 150W Eminence 1518 speaker.
The standard Blonde Rough Tolex and Oxblood grillcloth combination is visually stunning, and recalls a vintage surf feel at first sight.
