The Gibson EH-160 is a higher-output pre-war amplifier from Gibson's EH series, designed for players who needed more volume and projection than the EH-150 could provide. Intended for lap steel and electric guitar, the EH-160 pushes its 6L6 output tubes for additional headroom while maintaining the dark, smooth tone characteristic of all EH-series amplifiers. It represents the upper tier of Gibson's pre-war commercial amplifier line and is a significant artifact of early American electrification.
