The Guild Thunder amps began production in the mid ‘60s and were the companies most popular amps for several years. The Thunder amps tended to be somewhat “cleaner” than Fender amps of this generation. It’s been observed that the Guild Thunder circuitry was a departure from more common amp circuits of its era, utilizing power tubes that usually appeared in radios. These Thunder amps tend to be Hi-Fi ish sounding, with a gritty overtone, somewhat Ampeg-like, coincidentally these were made in New Jersey.

What a great little amp. Lots of power, tone and snot when you need it. Plug in the “Hi Gain” input and it starts to “Plexi” out. Plus, a rich tremolo.
