Here is a 1966 Goldentone Reverbmaster Model 1755, a rare and highly collectible Australian-made amplifier built in Melbourne and representing an important chapter in 1960s local amp manufacturing. Identified by the choke date code, this example is understood to remain in original condition, preserving its authentic vintage character and historical significance.
The Reverbmaster delivers approximately 40 watts of output, powered by a pair of 6DQ6A tubes, an unconventional choice originally found in period television sets. Despite their unusual origin, these tubes contribute to the amp’s distinctive tonal voice—rich, warm, and harmonically full, with a unique compression and texture that sets Goldentone amplifiers apart from their international counterparts.
It retains its original pair of 12” eTone speakers, well known for their reliability and smooth, balanced response. These speakers complement the circuit design, producing a rounded low end, clear mids, and a soft, musical top end that suits both clean playing and naturally driven breakup tones.
A key feature of this model is its onboard reverb and tremolo system, controlled via the original footswitch, delivering classic vintage modulation effects with depth and character. It also retains its original TV-style legs, a distinctive design feature from the era that adds to its period-correct aesthetic.
Overall, the Reverbmaster offers a rich and expressive vintage tone with strong historical appeal, making it highly desirable for both collectors and players seeking authentic Australian valve amplifier sound.
