Port City Amps Collaborates with Rhett Shull on New Grandville Amp

Port City Amps Collaborates with Rhett Shull on New Grandville Amp

The 50-watt all-tube amp comes with onboard tremolo and is available as a standalone head or combo.


Handmade near Asheville, NC, the Grandville is built using premium components and provides a simple set of interactive treble and bass controls with a single volume knob. The straightforward control set allows players to quickly dial in a wide array of tones. Guitarists that use effect pedals to achieve an overdriven tone will find the Grandville is a terrific "pedal platform" that brings out the best in their overdrive.

The amp includes an all-tube tremolo designed to deliver a tantalizingly lush, warm trem effect. It's controlled by a two-way toggle switch to select slow and fast speed settings, along with speed and intensity knobs to fine-tune the speed and depth of the effect.

Features:

  • Volume, Treble, and Bass controls
  • 50 Watts Output
  • 4 / 8 / 16 Ohm Impedance Switch
  • Foot switchable tremolo (can also be controlled by switch on front panel)
  • Fast and slow tremolo switch (controlled by front panel switch only)
  • Tube array:
    • TAD matched 6L6’s power tubes
    • 6SJ7 – Preamp
    • (2) 6SL7 – Tremolo
    • 6SL7 – Phase Inverter
    • 5U4GB – Rectifier
  • USA-made Hammond Transformers (Power, chokes (2) and output transformers.)
  • Black lacquered tweed, gold logo and piping with black grill cloth
  • Tremolo on/off footswitch included

Pricing for the Grandville head is $2550. A Grandville 2x10/12 combo -- loaded with one 10” Jensen Jet Tornado and one 12” WGS G12-CS speaker -- is $2950.

For guitarists purchasing the Grandville head there is a matching 2×10/12 Wave cab (with one 10” Jensen Jet Tornado and one 12” WGS G12-CS) available for $875.
