Made in the late 50's or early 60's I think. This is an amp that was supposedly made for accordian. Of course this means that it is not a hi-gain amp. Very Clean. Most people use some footpedals or rackmounts for distortion - siounds great with a pod!
Sound Quality

I used amodified strat with two single coils and a humbucker at the bridge. This amp makes my Mexican Strat sound like a million bucks! I have turned it up all the way and I have a super distortion in the bridge position, it gets a little hairy, but super-detailed and sounds great.
Reliability

I use it in the studio, but it weighs very little and I have taken it out twice. I trust it as much as anything that is approaching 50 years old...

I don't think the company exists anymore.
Overall Rating

10
I have been playing for 32 years and I have played through all of the usual suspects, Fender, Marshall, Roland, the pods, the other processors. I would hate to ever need the money bad enough to sell this amp. It's a one-of-a-kind. Big, fat, and clean (though the signal to noise ratio would probably improve with some cleaning and tube replacement.
