Tube power section
Volume and touch response are linked. Clean below roughly halfway, then it compresses and breaks up as you push it.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Hand-wired-era circuit reissue of Fender's 22-watt 1x12 tube combo with spring reverb and tremolo. For players who want real tube breakup at club volume.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Club and theater gigs where 22 watts is already loud
- Pedalboard players who need a clean, loud platform
- Studio work needing tube reverb and tremolo without pedals
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing clean headroom against a loud drummer on a big stage
- Anyone carrying gear up stairs — 42 lbs is real
- Bedroom players wanting power-tube breakup at low volume
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Single 12-inch speaker
One 12 gives focused midrange and a tighter low end than a 2x10, and keeps the cabinet a manageable size.
Detail 03
Built-in reverb
Spring reverb tank, not digital. Splashy and dark, and it drips more as you turn it past halfway.
Detail 04
Onboard tremolo
Amp-side volume modulation with speed and depth control, so you free up a pedalboard slot.
Detail 05
42 lbs, 24-1/2 x 17-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches
Two-hand carry. It fits most car trunks but will not ride on a lap in a back seat.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No cover, cable, or footswitch assumed — confirm what ships with your unit
- 02Tubes are consumables; budget for a retube and bias every few years
- 03Combos this loud need a volume-tolerant room or an attenuator
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this loud enough to gig with?
Yes for clubs, bars, and small theaters. Against a hard-hitting drummer on a large stage you will want to mic it through the PA.
02Does it have an effects loop?
Vintage-style reissues of this circuit generally do not. Plan on running time-based pedals in front of the amp.
03Can I get overdrive from the amp itself?
Yes, but you have to turn it up. Many players use a pedal for gain and keep the amp clean.
04How heavy is it to move?
42 pounds. Manageable for one person for short distances, but a cover with handles or a dolly helps for regular gigging.
