Sunn amps in creme or off-white tolex
« on: October 20, 2015, 09:15:11 am »
Has anybody seen a Sunn with creme or off white tolex?  Particularly a 1975 A-212?
An online seller told me this is they did come with that color as an original option.
I've never heard of this with Sunn, as "special editions" weren't common like they are now.

A "blonde" A-212 sounds familiar, I feel like I've seen pictures of more than one at least.

I've seen this amp advertised on Portland Craigslist several times and on Reverb.com. The seller calls it rare. I call it a recover. I've never seen any other Sunn amp in this color. Ever.

I wouldn't be surprised if the amp in question is the one I've seen a few times.

Walt-Dogg, the one in Portland is the one of which i speak.  I think you're right about the revover, as all my research leads me to believe there ain't no such animal...

Recover or painted tolex. That's not too uncommon either.
