The Retro Rockets Home Page.
The Retro Rocket 30 was built for Danny Carr who plays with The Retro Rockets, a Northern California band that specializes in Live Classic Rock and Roll, Blues and Motown with an emphasis on the music of the 60's. The amp is my Eastender 30 with reverb and a master volume added. This one was cosmetically designed by Danny and has the chassis mounted vox style with two strap handles and a large top vent. The front gold grill cloth is framed and open to allow better cooling throughout. The closed back oversized 2x12 houses an english made Celestion Greenback and Eminance Wizard which is a Celestion G12H30 copy. Sound Samples and Amp pictures are posted below. Check out those custom covers....Tasty!
