Handwired D-style Tube Combo from Vertex Effects
Do you have $100,000 burning a hole in your pocket? If so, we recommend that you grab a used D-style amp — it will serve you well (provided you have top-notch insurance and never leave the house with it). But if you want a D-style amplifier you can actually gig with, the Vertex Effects Doctor's Special is destined to be your pride and joy. Loaded with a 12-inch Celestion Heritage G12-65 speaker, this handwired 50-watt combo yields a surplus of singing steel-string tone, and it's one of the most pedal-friendly, all-tube guitar amplifiers you'll find. The Doctor's Special includes a flexible 3-band EQ and presence-enhancing Accent control for dialing in your sound, and its 3-spring reverb tank produces an immersive, ear-grabbing sound that's guaranteed to elicit your most inspired playing ever. The Vertex Doctor's Special also boasts a solid, finger-jointed pine cabinet covered with durable black Tolex.
