The Session Man
1973 Garnet Session Man
My #1 Garnet amplifier. An early 2x12 Session Man Combo Amp. I play this unit everywhere and play everything through it. It will Rock out (no pedals needed here), do Country or Jazz. Whatever I need, this amp will deliver. Plenty of power to cut through the mix. Would not trade this amplifier for ANYTHING, not even a Marshall.
Seeing action.
This is an early Session Man. One of the first 50 made, likely in '69 and a Garnet Guitar with the lawsuit headstock from about '71. This amp features Fuzz and does not have a Master Volume. Tone to die for! The Sessionman is Gar's answer to everything, it does it all. The guitar is awesome as well. It sounds and plays great..

This rare Garnet Session Master comes courtesy of Terry
Terry had Gar himself service it, and a little later on Mark Stephenson as well. This amp runs two 6L6's or two EL34's if desired, bias control has been added. Speakers are a pair of Celestion V30's. How does it sound?
"Best reverb ever. Best cleans ever. Thicken the sound, and add a bit of hair with a touch of the Overdrive circuit. Otherwise the Overdrive is ridiculously loud. But the OverDrive runs in parallel to the Master channel, leaving the reverb 100% clean. "I thought I was a genius when I came up wth that," Gar told me." After all the work on the amp was done? ... "A labour of love. It will NEVER be for sale"
I believe other Session Masters run four 6CA7/EL34 power tubes, very loud! Prob around 1-2 dozen of these ever made. I played one at Harmony Lane in Calgary, gorgeous clean tone, cut through any mix. Cranked it up to noodle a bit, when I stopped every acoustic in the store was resonating in unison.
2 nice Garnet Session Man Combos - Thx Pierre
