For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this Gries 5 hand-wired tube combo (Serial No. 1609)—a boutique, American-built amplifier that distills classic Fender Champ DNA into a far more flexible, studio-ready platform.

Revered for its touch sensitivity, harmonically rich voice, and expanded control set, the Gries 5 delivers everything players love about small-amp tone while offering greater tonal shaping and dynamic range. From articulate, dimensional cleans to smooth, harmonically complex breakup, this amp rewards nuance and responds beautifully to the player’s hands.

This particular example is in excellent condition with minimal wear. It comes to us from a collector-owned, smoke-free home studio and has never been gigged. The cabinet, covering, and hardware remain exceptionally clean, presenting far above what is sometimes seen for a used boutique amplifier. Most importantly, the amp functions exactly as it should and sounds outstanding, with a lively, immediate response and a refined tonal balance that makes it equally at home in the studio or a refined home setup.

Internally, the amp features Gries’ renowned hand-wired turret-board construction and premium component selection. This example is outfitted with a Fat Jimmy Vintage Series 12" ceramic speaker, which complements the circuit beautifully with punchy mids, articulate highs, and a tight, musical low end. A Mercury Magnetics output transformer further enhances clarity, feel, and harmonic depth. The chassis is housed in a high-quality Mojotone cabinet, built in North Carolina and known for its excellent craftsmanship and resonance. The amp also includes the footswitch, allowing easy access to its additional gain functionality.

Altogether, this is a clean, collector-grade example of a highly respected boutique amplifier—one that blends vintage inspiration with modern reliability and thoughtful design. For players and collectors seeking a premium low-watt amp with exceptional build quality, expressive tone, and outstanding condition, this Gries 5 stands as a compelling and musically inspiring offering.
