Silvertone World - Amplifiers

The 1960s meant many things to many people; it was a time of newfound freedom; it was a time of the fear and reality of war. It was a time of exploration, both of inner and outer space. It was a time of experimentation, musical and otherwise. The Beatles; the Rolling Stones, Woodstock; Altamont, Kennedy; Nixon, groovy; heavy... on all fronts, it was a time of change, contrast, challenges.

Silvertone took up the challenge of providing amps and guitars to a music playing public hungry to test the musical waters. Challenge the status quo, try something new... for a while it seemed anything was possible.

Here they are: he Silvertone amps that powered America and the world through the 1960s. 'Suitcase' combos, the famous amp-in-case models, amp/cabinet component 'stacks,' the first amps devoted to bass... it 's all here.

Of course, by the end of the 60s, a lot of things were gone. Dano as a separate entity; and most important to us, the Dano-made Silvertone amps and guitars were no more.
