Gretsch 5222 Electromatic Amp Modifications

$ 59.95

Unlock the tube mojo hiding in your Gretsch Electromatic 5222. This mod upgrades the essential components and tweaks the stock design to free up the amp's hidden potential. After it, this pint-size five-watter dishes out all the gritty, sizzling gain you could ask for — the tubby, restricted stock tone is gone, the bass and treble range are opened up, and the amp becomes genuinely responsive to your playing dynamics.
