Palmer Fat 50 Tube Combo Amp - 50 Watts 1x12 Footswitchable
OMG this is a serious amp! For your consideration, a super clean Palmer Fat 50 tube combo amp! This amp was built in Germany and we just don't see a whole lot of them here in the US. It's a high-gain amp with an insanely crisp and full clean tone. The gain stages are all fat (that's why it's the Fat 50!) sounding with tight, not muddy, crunch and saturation. It is surprisingly versatile and a blast to play through. The amp has low miles, no signs of abuse, no modifications, no repairs, no excuses! Fully tested, fully functioning, and fully ready to melt faces, or peel paint, or whatever you need it to do. It's a beast! The original footswitch and cabling are included.
This model is no longer made, and seems to be in short supply on the internet. All reviews that we can find are extremely positive!

Reviews
"The FAT50 surpasses expectations with great dynamics and a direct response, making it possible to shape a lot of sounds... it works equally well with single coils and humbuckers and presents them both in the best possible light. The FAT50 could quickly become the love of your life." - Guitar Magazine
