Cornell Romany 12 Reverb
Cornell · amplifier
The Cornell Romany 12 Reverb is an all-tube guitar combo from Cornell Amplification, UK, featuring a 12-inch speaker and onboard reverb. The Romany series draws from tweed and vintage British circuit influences with hand-wired boutique construction. The reverb adds a natural spring-style character suited to the warm, touch-sensitive tube tones the Cornell Romany line is known for. A 12-inch speaker provides fuller low-end projection and volume compared to the smaller Romany 10.
