Members mc5nrg Posted May 19, 2007 Members Share Posted May 19, 2007 Got pix?my educated guess is that 120 watts is the power consumption figure ,not a output power rating.So probably not a Twin competitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrislynch Posted May 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 20, 2007 The first one is not a brilliant pic, from my Myspace page, but you get the idea...its a 2x12. twin channel, reverb and tremolo...I am no David Bailey, so these are about as good as it gets I'm afraid..thanks for your help.I think you'll agree, it definately was Gibson's attempt at a Twin...see last pic... myspace.com/chrisrocksonandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Telecaster_Todd Posted March 17, 2013 Members Share Posted March 17, 2013 Wow does that bring back memories. In 1975 I bough my first electric guitar a white Gibson Les Paul. I played it all summer long through a homemade Heathkit amp and a beatup 2x12 homemade cabinet. By fall we were putting together a band and I needed a "real" amp.I figured a Gibson Amp for a Gibson Guitar. I went to Mike's Music in Platteville, WI and put a new one of these on layaway. Mike was great and let me take it home after my second installment and make weekly payments. Well It surely screamed Rock and Roll for a young kid in his first band. But then It ended up in the shop every other week until the repair bills exceeded the cost of the amp. Oh and it was truly 120 watts RMS output. Man was that thing loud. Maybe I destroyed it playing it as loud as it would go? Too much heat on the transistors. Who knows. It was fun while it lasted. I replaced it with a Peavey Classic combo with 2x12 speakers that is still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
