I've been friends with Greg Germino for 15 plus years and our love of vintage Marshall's and Les Paul's made us fast friends. Greg's amps have always been world class and the best built in the boutique market. If you're taking the plunge and getting one of these amazing amps you won't be disappointed. Please contact us for custom colors and special orders. Also make an appointment to come to the shop and try one out in person!
This gently used Germino Lead 35 head just came in on trade and it sounds glorious. It has the master volume option as well as a set of NOS GE 6V6's.
The Lead 35 and Bass 35 are lower wattage versions of the 55L and Club 40 (50w) using the same Lead or Bass circuit.
The new transformer set for these models is the key element to providing great sounds at more manageable volume levels. They have been carefully selected and tested, yielding a broad frequency EQ and extreme touch response.
