Allen Chihuahua Combo

Allen Chihuahua Combo in excellent all original condition! The ultimate practice/bedroom? Quite possibly. With Reverb and a master volume this one puts out a lot of noise! Includes the “Raw” footswitch and is currently loaded with an 8″ WGS speaker and a vintage Tung Sol 6V6 power tube.

The Allen Chihuahua (“chi-wah-wah”) takes the home practice amp up to a whole new level. A Class A single-ended tube amp using a 6V6 for 6 watts or a 6L6 for 10 watts (selector switch on back) to drive a 10″ Copperhead speaker with a full tone stack including my foot-switchable RAW control and all tube driven spring reverb! The reverb recovery has an extra gain stage which is very welcome for great overdriven tones. The RAW control unscoops the mids for a more 5F1 tweed type tone. It has a respectable amount of clean headroom and bottom end authority on bass notes for an amp this size/power. At only 17″ by 17″ and 24 lbs., it is the perfect grab n’ go practice amp. I’ve added an additional filtering stage to get rid of the typical “single-ended background hum” normally produced by these little amps so it is great for recording, too! All top notch components throughout including a aluminum chassis, Accutronics 9″ reverb tank, Switchcraft jacks, Carling switches, Mallory M150 tone capacitors, etc. Also available as a head and in kit form.
