schundog Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I decided to take a few pictures of some of the massive amp collection my buddy Ed at Monster Pawn has acquired over the years. This is maybe 10% of what he has lining the upper shelves of his shop; He also has many vintage Fender, Gibson, Marshall, Supro, etc amps up there. He says, half jokingly, that it is his retirement plan. I can think of a lot less fun ways to invest! Anyway, here's some eye candy of some of the wierd heads he has up there. http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/schundog/oldampheads001.jpg[/img]"]http:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schundog Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 More... There are several different Kustom amps here, they aren't all the same amp. EDIT: Oops, I think the first two pictures ARE the same amp.. Sorry! https:// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegleg32 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I love the rack mount on that crate!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genericmusic Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I do remember the Knight Amps. A band I played in used one for a PA head back in the mid-60's. If I remember correctly they were a kit amp (build your own) pretty much like Heath Kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoslate Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have an amp guru pal who's made his life's work, well a lot of it anyway, turning those old MASCO PA amps into killer guitar amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolero Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'd take that Ampeg over anything else....one of the best guitar sounds I ever got was a les paul into a cranked V4B into a marshall 4x12....glory hallelujah! they are also great bass amps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Another Ampeg fan here. Yep, I think that amp could smoke many of the new ones these days. Hey, have you asked him about selling some of the old tubes lurking inside of thos old beasts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
