Back in 2024, I announced a special project where I would be making a grab and go version of Jerry's iconic rig borrowing the styling of his setup and doing my best to nail his late 70s guitar tone when he was using JBL D and K 120 speakers pretty much exclusively. I was able to source about 50 original JBL speakers and have them rebuilt for a limited edition run of amplifiers, but the whole process was difficult and expensive and in the end I decided not to release this amplifier in my regular lineup.
I changed my mind about that when in early 2025 I announced Milkman has completed a faithful reproduction of the JBL speaker called the Milkman Alnico Speaker. Now I am pleased to offer this amplifier in my regular lineup - however the availability is still somewhat restricted because of the time consuming nature and expense of an amplifier like this.
Please watch the video below, and contact me if you would like to make a purchase or set up a custom version of the amplifier. The retail price for these is $4399 for the combo, but I can also make them as a custom head/cab or sell them with a matching cabinet with a second K120 which is what I did back in 2024 when I first announced them on social media. These amplifiers will also be available through my dealer network and via my international distribution channels.
