Sears Silvertone 6x10 100-Watt Combo Amp
Silvertone · amplifier
Jack White paired a mid-60s Silvertone 1485 tube head with its matching 6x10 speaker cabinet, an unusually configured combo originally sold through Sears catalogs for $149.95, throughout the first three White Stripes albums. White has been candid that the amp's reverb is essentially unusable, using the rig purely for the thick, Jensen-speaker crunch he says only a Silvertone can produce, often blending it with a Fender Twin Reverb to supply the clean reverb tone the Silvertone couldn't deliver on its own. The unheard-of six-speaker cabinet configuration, rare among vintage combo amps, gives it a distinctively dense, textured breakup that became a core part of the White Stripes' raw early sound.
