Title: Never seen one of these before...
Post by: RacerX on April 10, 2012, 07:56:30 PM
A Gibson stereo guitar combo!

Pretty pricey, but cool nonetheless...

Looks like the old Wem/Watkins amps.

If I remember right, one of these was competing against the other. I'm pretty sure it was Gibson trying to get into WEM's market, but I dunno. Hell, might have just been the style for a bit then. heh

"originally produced for Gibson Stereo guitars such as the ES-345 and 355, with one channel dedicated to each pickup"

I'd like to have one of them with a stereo chorus pedal.  That would sound huge!

i was just going to say...my stereo effects sound huge with 2 speakers(call them PA speakers if you want) well apart, and the dry main signal in the middle from the mic'd amp.

I was just thinking about an amp like these, like what could you really use one for that is slick.

local H could use something like that, with one side modded for lower end of guitar/upper bass range(10" bass speaker perhaps), for an all-in-one solution for his guitar setup.
