Chet Aitkns 6160 Country Gentleman amp

Description
6160 Country Gentleman amps were packed with more features than you can shake a Bigsby arm at: treble brilliance switch, footswitch-activated tremolo with speed and intensity controls, a built-in tuner, the obligatory standby switch with pilot light and — if that wasn't enough — a phonograph input.

Luckily they were also great sounding, durable amps. Packing 35 watts and twin 12-inch Jensens into a surprisingly svelte 44-pound package, the only thing the Country Gentlemen really had going against them was price. They weren't cheap, and they didn't sell new, so they're hard to find now.
