Description
The Gattone is Louis Electric’s tribute to Gatton and it has an interesting mix of features. Like a late 40s Fender Super, the cabinet contains two 10-inch speakers and it’s V-fronted. It’s also made from plywood, and rather than using floating baffles, the speakers are mounted on thick 10-inch squares of ply that are each held tight to the front panel of the cabinet by eight screws.
amp has a solid-state rectifier module plugged into the socket that should be home to a 5AR4 valve. Running a fixed biased pair of 6L6 power valves with a trio of 12AX7s and a 12AT7, the Gattone is handwired on what appears to be a moisture-resistant phenolic eyelet board. It has Mallory and Sprague capacitors as well as custom-wound power and output transformers.
The hand-wired circuit features eyelet terminal board construction, with premium components throughout including:
-Hand-selected Mallory and Sprague caps/resistors
-Custom designed, hand-built transformers
-Belton tube sockets
-Moisture-resistant phenolic board
-Switchcraft and Carling input jacks and switches
-Machine-grade fasteners
The V-front cabinet features ambered lacquered diagonal tweed and oxblood/gold stripe grillcloth, topped off with a premium leather handle. This amp is remarkably clean with just a scant few marks on the enclosure edges, and the faceplate has pristine graphics and brown barrel knobs
