Milkman Sound Creamer 20W Combo
Milkman Sound · amplifier
The Milkman Sound Creamer is a 20-watt combo that puts out around 20 watts into 8 ohms with 6V6 output tubes and a sweet breakup character. Its distinguishing feature is a rear-panel switch that allows a pair of 6L6 tubes to be fitted instead, which gives more low end, subtler midrange and a touch more headroom, so the same amp can be reconfigured between two output voices. Like most of the Milkman range it carries the company's reverb and tremolo circuits. Milkman build by hand in San Francisco. It suits blues, roots and indie players who want a mid-powered American-voiced combo with genuine breakup and the option to change its character with tubes.
