Koch Amps - Greg Koch 'Little Gristle' 1x12 Tweed Combo w/Spring Reverb
I would call it Near-mint. Not a mark on it. 100% original. Nothing modded or changed. I just can't call it 'mint' as I've played it for a year and only in my non-smoking home. Great sounding combo, covers a lot of ground.
Big fat clean tone and rips when you crank it up. EL-34 power so it leans a bit more to the Marshall territory vs. Fender. It's auto-bias, so it can run 6V6, 6L6, EL-34, 5881 etc without re-biasing! Kinda' like the old THD Univalve amps. Has boost gain switch and switchable Recording output. Off for using your own IR or On for the internal Cab Simulated tone for recording/FOH live use. Can also be run silent as it has a built-in speaker load. Also has a real spring tank Reverb.
Switchable from 12watts, down to 4watts. Has a Koch VG12-60 speaker. I've tried it with a few external cabs I had around and the original speaker sounds great with it. It's definitely loud enough to use live with an average drummer.
Knobs and Switches are as follows:
Gristle - Input Gain
More - Master Volume
Tone - Tone
Extra - More Gain
Cab Filter - In or Out

$900. Shipped/Paypal'd
Not interested in trades - thx.
Comes with Manual, power cord and I have the original Koch shipping box too.

Manufacturer Info:
Koch Guitar Amplifiers in conjunction with Greg Koch (no relation) would like to introduce the Little Gristle! This twill covered single 12 combo has brought the late 50’s into 2023, for both the vintage purist, and the modern guitarist.
The Class A, single ended amp has only 4 controls (Gristle/preamp control, the Tone control, and More/power amp control, plus the Extra switch to add some dirt), and can be switched from 4 to 12 watts. The Koch designed Power Soak and speaker simulator allows the actual speaker to be disconnected and the amp driven straight into a recording console.
Finally, a classic reverb tank completes the package. Plug into the Little Gristle with your favorite guitar…or any guitar! Dial in something clean or more edgy and you will be taken by the purity and honesty of this amplifier. Like it’s relatives from the tweed era, the Little Gristle reacts to your playing style in a very organic and musical fashion….lighten up on your pick and the amp cleans up….dig in and the amp will bite back…not in a modern overdrive way, but a very vintagy tube driven way that fits with any style of music.
So, the question is…what style of amp is the new Koch Little Gristle? Is it a blues amp, a rock amp, a jazz amp or a country amp? The answer is yes!
