The Silvertone 1396 is a mid-to-late 1950s Danelectro-built tube combo representing the upper tier of Sears's guitar amplifier catalog, featuring a larger speaker and enhanced power section compared to the base models. Its tonal character leans warm and slightly compressed, with a natural breakup that Blues and early rock 'n' roll players have found charming. The 1396 was positioned as a capable amp for the serious student or semi-professional player.
