Pittman Amps - Kansas City Series - Rockhill 5E3

Description

The Kansas City Series Rockhill, from Pittman Amps, is a refined version of the classic 5E3 design, delivering 15+ Watts of vintage-tweed tones. Hand-wired utilizing premium components, this vintage-inspired amp sports a 5Y3 rectifier, 12AX7 and 12AYT preamp tubes and a pair of 6V6 power tubes. The tweed cab has a natural feel, with a finish that protects and seals the cabinet while still allowing it to naturally age. Named after the Rockhill Neighborhood just down the road in Kansas City, we're excited to add this new line of amps to our collection of locally built gear.
