Anthony Dwyer's Guitars

30w combo made by Cliff Fletcher

17 May 2022

Cliff Fletcher is a bassist / singer / guitarist who I play with. In about 2018 he started building valve amps and one day in early 2019 he got me to play his first amp and I was so impressed I asked him to build one for me. This one is the 3rd amp he built. It's very simple with no channel switching, no master volume, just volume, treble, bass and mid controls. The cabinet is solid pine.

The original speaker was a 12" Eminence GA-SC64 Signature designed in collaboration with George Alessandro. However, for reasons unknown, that speaker failed within a couple of years. Maybe it was under powered for the amp. No one seems to have a decent explanation. Since then the speaker has been replaced by an Eminence Canis Major.
