The Fender Pawn Shop Excelsior combo amp has to be one of the more distinctively boutiquey guitar amps we've seen. With 13 watts of 6V6 power and a 15" Special Design speaker, the Excelsior sports a brown textured vinyl covering, an unusual E-shaped grille design, and a delightfully bizarre crossed-swords front-panel badge. The Excelsior has three inputs - guitar, mic, and accordion - each with individually optimized circuitry. A tremolo circuit (with speed control) and a bright/dark tone switch complete the featureset. If you're in the mood for something "different," you've found it - Fender's Pawn Shop Excelsior.

• Look different
• Sound different

Everything about the Fender Pawn Shop Excelsior combo amp shouts "different." With its delightfully eccentric styling, you won't see yourself coming and going very often. Then, there's the sound. There again, Fender's whipped up something rather tasty and unique.

The Fender Pawn Shop Excelsior is fitted with two 6V6s driving a 15" - with a trem circuit and bright/dark switch along for the ride. Among guitarists, fifteens have a fiercely loyal, almost cult-ish following. You get sonic magic with that massive cone flapping about - especially when driven with a lower-wattage tube amp with a bit of sag. Add a whole new dimension to this already-awesome amp: hook it up to an extension cabinet and get ready to be amazed. If you haven't had the pleasure, you really have to experience this for yourself.

One of the things that separates us guitarists from other musicians is our appreciation for real analog. Analog tone circuits, sure - but also good old-fashioned mechanics. The physical interaction of a valve amp with a speaker cone. Fender gets it (of course they do) - that's why they design and build such wonderful tone candy. Add a fresh, unconventional vibe to your music with the Fender Pawn Shop Excelsior.
