The Gretsch Pages

The Gretsch 6152 was sort of a big brother to the 6150 and 6151. It was also sold as the Supro model S6422TR (and S6522TR), National model N6422TR, and Airline model 62-9025A. National models were fitted with a 12" speaker all years. Airline models were fitted with a 10" speaker.

   I purchased mine used about 6 years ago. Mid-60's vintage I think. Mine came with an 8" Jensen speaker (looks stock or at least stock size). Nice, unique tone. The tremolo is intense - no subtlety here! The reverbs a bit shallow, but adds some nice flavor to the playing experience when engaged. I play it often. Great looking amp too! I love the gold cloth

   I'm not certain what year mine was made. Someone once told me between 1966-68. I bought it 20 years ago, a customer brought it in (the store where I was teaching) with a Gretsch guitar. I've always liked this little amp, using it mainly for practice and recording. I typically play through a 70s twin on jobs. The Fender reverb and tremolo are "deeper and wider" but why compare. The 6152 is clean at low volumes and, as expected, starts to break up when cranked. I once played an old Epiphone with P90s through it and thought that was an amazing sound.
