Elektra The 185 15 inch Speaker Brown USED

Elektra Amplifiers Europe brings back the sounds of old with 'The 185' family of guitar amplifiers.

Each model shares essential DNA with the pre-war Gibson EH185. Elektra Amplifiers transports the original circuit into the present, offering a range of iconic tones spanning 30s Big Band Jazz, 50s Rockabillly, 60s Rock & Roll, Blues Roots, steaming Rock & Roll and contemporary Rock music. All with modern day reliability and ease-of-use.

The two-channel 16W design feels at home in Recording / Home Studio environments, as well as small- to medium-sized live Clubs.

Shellac lacquered tweed, hand-stitched leather corners and handles, vintage correct rosette speaker screws, a silk-screened logo on the grille, an etched brass control face plate and ivory colored chicken head knobs. Just to name a few.

And most importantly, the Tone!

Power transformer, choke and output transformer are custom wound for every amplifier. Tubes and electronic components are handpicked and matched to achieve the best possible consistency with only the best sounding materials.

Where required, Elektra updated the original circuit to improve safety and reliability, while preserving the essence of the EH185's tone.
