their instruments. Well, they found it!

quality and all tubes are hand selected, tightly matched and burned-in to exacting
standards. Each cabinet is expertly built by craftsmen with years of experience
in the manufacturing of guitar cabinets.

British valve amps, Heritage Amplifiers will settle for nothing less than the
very best in quality and workmanship. As beautiful ton look at, as they are
to listen to, all of these amplifiers are built by musicians for the discerning
player who demands the very best in tone.

forty years of masterful jazz playing, he sets the bar for many young players
to shoot for. The Hertitage "Kenny Burrell" model is not just the
amp Kenny endorses, it's the amplifier he plays! Two 10" or a single
Jensen Special Design 12" speaker(s) driven by a pair of 6L6's give this

the player to dial in perfect jazz sound. Reverb comes straight from the
tone stack providing a rich, fully EQ’d signal. Both Level and Depth
Reverb controls are provided. In addition to the customary Bass, Mid,
and Treble controls, a parametric Mid Focus control allows precise selection
of midrange frequencies for the preamp mix. Finally, Presence control provides
adjustment of the power amp stage for control of those fabulous “tube
driven” high frequencies. The cherry wood name and faceplate help to
distinguish this remarkable amp. Dimensions are 20 Ω” H, 23” W,
10 º ” D.
