The 1330 / 1390 /
1490 amp, because of its low price is one of the
most widely available Danelectro-made Silvertone amps today. On this page, I've
included a few shots of a Dano 'Cadet' model amp for you to compare and
contrast. The Cadet has the same basic look, but as you can see, it was the
double-decker chassis design of the 'higher-up' Silvertones and the larger tubes of the 1330/90.
