Title: The Valve 105 "Bimbo" 5W Class A Tube Combo Amp - Mint / Unused Condition w/ Original Box
Up for grabs is an incredibly rare, discontinued The Valve 105 "Bimbo" 5-Watt Class A All-Tube 1x12" Combo Amp. If you have been looking for the ultimate zero-compromise home recording or apartment amplifier, this is it. Perfect for tone purists, session guitarists, and apartment players who refuse to play through digital modelers.
Handwired point-to-point in Italy: The Valve built these single-channel masterpieces with a very specific goal: replicating the explosive, touch-sensitive sag and harmonic richness of a legendary 1968 50W Marshall Plexi—but at volumes that won’t wake the neighbors.
The Magic Control: Power Scaling Attenuation:
Unlike standard amps where turning down the volume kills your tone, the Bimbo features a built- in boutique attenuator circuit. It allows you to crank the Gain and Volume to push the EL34 power valve into sweet, singing harmonic distortion, and then dial the overall power seamlessly down from 5 Watts to a whisper-quiet 1/20th of a Watt. You keep 100% of the dynamic tube response, sustain, and bite at bedroom levels.
Tube Swapper's Dream:
The circuit is highly forgiving and uniquely designed to let you experiment. While it ships with a premium EL34 power tube for those classic British rock tones, the amp allows you to safely drop in 6V6, 6L6, or KT77 valves to precisely sculpt your own signature clean or overdrive voice.
