The Vocal Late-’50s Voice

Richer mids. Smoother top end.

The thickest and most vocal point in the range.

Why the ’59?

The most mid-forward expression in the Olemy range.

Added weight through the mids and a smoother, rounder top end. Chords remain full and harmonically rich, with a low end that stays controlled. Under gain, the treble response remains composed.

Both coils follow late-’50s Leesona 102 winding patterns with no coil offset. The more uniform structure slightly lowers the resonant peak and increases distributed capacitance, shaping a thicker midrange and smoother treble character.

The result is a more expressive late-’50s voice that retains clarity and control as you play.

If you’re after the sweeter, more vocal side of a late-’50s PAF, this is it.
