Silvertone Amps Model 1482

15 watt, 1×12 combo!

Vintage Tube Guitar Amplifier!

Used! Just in on trade! This vintage Silvertone model 1482 is a great sounding, vintage tube guitar amplifier built by Danelectro for Sears under the Silvertone moniker. This is a mid-1960’s amp with the round baffle design and was considered a ‘go to’ amp for many players during this time. At only 21 lbs, this is a great sounding, grab and go amp – Approximately 15 watts with a circuit similar to a Fender Deluxe. Like all our used / vintage gear this has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get. Appears to the best of my knowledge to be all original including footswitch, tubes, speaker and 2-prong cable. Very nice condition although there are some scruffs here and there. But overall extremely clean compared to some others I have seen. Probably only used at home and then stored for 50 years.

Paraphrased from the internet:

“The Silvertone 1482 was introduced in 1963 and was one of the most popular catalog amps throughout the 1960s. The 1482 was very similar to the short lived 6G3 Fender Deluxe (brown face) with tremolo circuit but has a bit earlier break up than the Deluxe. Like the Deluxe, the 1482 is powered by two 12ax7 preamp tubes, two 6v6 power tubes in a push/pull configuration and a 12″ speaker . It differs from the Deluxe in that it’s voiced a bit darker and breaks up a little earlier. The 1482 came initially with a round baffle but was soon changed to the square baffle for the majority of its time, then back to the round baffle at the end of its run [this is the round baffle version but I am unsure of the specific year]. The amp is very responsive and dynamic offering a range of playing styles all within the change in the player’s attack on the strings. This amp is not a replacement for the Fender Deluxe but a completely different animal altogether. It’s voiced differently and has a completely different clean-to-driven response.”
