This is the amp he got by mentioning that he was looking for one in one of our videos when we were selling his collection. He ended up with two and is selling one of them. It was cleaned up and serviced by his good friend and amp guru Obeid Khan. Extremely rare amp. It's unknown, but some sources suggest less than 250 were made. Used by the Rolling Stones in early recordings.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe following specs were carefully collected and recorded by a skilled technician.
