Very cool. Thanks for posting Colossal!
Looks like he has his flight cases for the head and the spk cab right beside his Dumble amp.


Cheers

Robben Ford's NEWER, new amp and speaker

Post by drew »

I caught the last few minutes of Robben doing a YouTube livestream from his house today. He was talking about a new Little Walter amp he’d just gotten. The Little Walter guy, Phil, was participating in the chat. It’s apparently EF86 front end, EL84 powered, with claimed 15 watts, and a 1X12 cab. I was tempted to ask what page of the Tino Zottola book it’s on, but I didn’t.

Minimal details + a link to a video of Robben noodling on it for a couple minutes: http://littlewaltertubeamps.com/King%20Arthur.html

Drew,

He was on Instagram today playing the amp with a PRS guitar, Sounded fantastic.

His Little Walter amp apparently has an Eminence speaker, but not sure which one though. Sounds very good.

Stating the obvious - in Robbens hands everything will sound good (some better than the other fwiw :) ).

Stated tube complement and video samples sounds are reminiscent to AC15/30 land.
