The Sears Roebuck Dept. Store ...Silvertone amp came out in 1963 but
was gone by 1967. Old ones are still used by Jack White, Dave Grohl, Billie Joe Armstrong and Dan Auerbach. Sears stuff was budet but they had good warranties that they did not want to have to honour and so they had a higher standard than the brand names that made their stuff. In short you got good sh*t. Needless to say headroom was never an issue back then so the amps all distorted very easily. Fortunately in a damn cool way. The layout is volume, bass, treble and gain.

CONCLUSION 

I am not crazy with a current trend of bring anything meant to have a retro vibe out in the needlessly large enclosure. Even so it does look cool, lol.

It has a pleasing just before breakup right thru to high gain sound. Jackson have

always as a rule been pricey but do indeed give you dirt sounds with very detailed

harmonics in the tone. It does sound authentic and dare I say irresistible.
