This amp is roughly equivalent to 2 to 3 Danny Devito’s tall.
Indeed
Hahahahahaha
@Rufus T Firefly how DARE you call my boy Danny obnoxious!
@Rufus T Firefly Danny Devito is an angel!!!!
Not 3. Just 2.
Dude, my mind went immediately to the first scene in Back to the Future where Marty goes flying back after playing a power chord through a giant amp.
Yes dude!!
That's perfect🤣🤣
When I was watching this, my son came to show me exactly that scene 😄
I saw Led Zeppelin's first gig at the Roundhouse in London.
Jimmy Page used two of these. I have never seen one since, until now.....
Rock it. You know you want to..... Lol
Something was telling me Jimmy Page owned one of these. How he was able to move it from gig to gig is another just mystery that Led Zeppelin will be attached with.
@@SuperJiggawhat Their roadies must've been huge!
@@reginaldbowls7180 I agree,! If not, they certainly were after a few world tours.
I have seen a couple of heads for sale here in se tn .....but never the whole rig. I snagged a silverface bassman 135 several years ago....not the most ideal guitar amp but you can get some good things out of it....I gave $399 for it.....I feel sure I could get my money back.
I saw Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes back in 1969. Ted was using two Dual Showman cabs with a Fender Twin Reverb on top of each Showman cab. that was impressive.
Bringing that amp to a gig is like bringing a Howitzer to an indoor gun range.
Cliff Brooks best comment lol
Yes, that is absolutely true today, but in 1969, PA systems were nowhere near what they are today. Musicians were expected to supply their own volume. The PA was mostly just for vocals. Even though it might be hard to believe in the 25db monotone snowflake spongecake "calm down turn it down" phone age, there was a time when people actually liked to rock. Loud was cool, and people liked to feel it. But people could also feel things in the days before serotonin inhibitors and political correctness. Rock and Roll was the music of free, prosperous, and generally happy people, and amps like this are a reminder of that mentality. Kind of like muscle cars and cool old Harleys.

If you angle that thing towards me, ill be able to hear you play live. I live in the Uk
Just a little more on the right please, so I can hear it too, from France.
Spin it all the way around and to the right a tad for Detroit mi.
Nice one Jordy. I am in North East London, UK so i should be able to hear him as well :-)
I'm on it guys 👍🏻👍🏻
DETRIK. FX can’t
New title “Matthew Scott plays through a refrigerator. “
Lol
Of course he does, that's why he's sooooo cool.
I can imagine the PA guy looking at this and asking that silly question.
“You?......You need me to mic your amp?”
Hahaha made my stinking day!!!
LOL
My first "real" amp was a Dual Showman with a butchered 1x 15' cabinet. Played in a band where the bassplayer had a Sessionette 100 Bass combo. The soundguy was setting up a DI for me and a mic in front of the Sesionnette :-) Imagine the surprised look when we pointed him out it was the other way around LOL
“You want to mic my PA into your Showman?”
A couple of years a friend of mine gave me a price you can't resist on the same amp, and I couldn't tell him how much I appreciate this. Unfortunately he passed away last year, so every time I play on the amp with the most beautiful tone in the world I think of him.
I like those little apartment practice amps ... Lol ... Great clean sound ...
Just a mild practice amp
😆🤣😂
The neighbors are going to love what I just bought!
😆🤣😂🤘🤘🤘
You could make a Fender Stonehenge out of a dozen of these.
Amphenge?
Tonehenge
Wished Nigel Tufnel thought of that
Craiger Spinal Tap immediately popped into my head lol
Beautiful idea !!
Seriously.
These amps were used by Big Brother and the Holding Co (Janis Joplin era) and Quicksilver Messenger Service as well.
Hendrix recorded some studio tunes on one, and definitely used one at the Fillmore and Winterland.
Thanks for posting that. I have a similar rig cool to know players I dig used something like it.
Adjusted for inflation, this amp would cost roughly $7000 today.
Julia Morris better deal than 13000 for a cracked guitar *cough* gibson *cough* but at least it was signed by slash
Minimum wage should be in the $30+ per hour range. Greedy ass government but milk would 8 bucks a gallon prob. And a Squier would run ya 3,000.00
@@jonhmonroney12 so you admit you know about inflation, but nothing about economics in general? Got it.
Boofer T. Washington economics don’t make sense it’s Bs
Why do they raise cost of things yet baaaaaarely have wages increase
Do we really want to argue about economics?
Lost a bandmate to one of those amps.Tipped over on him during a solo RIP be careful
They found him lifeless with a smile on his face.
Actually?
That seems very spinal tap-esque
Wait Fr
What lol
I'm from that era. The main reason Fender had those big amps was because many places you played had little or no sound reinforcement system. So all of your volume had to come from the amps on stage. PAs were typically used only for vocals and/or horns. All the other instruments, bass, guitar, electric piano, etc need to have an onstage amp capable of generating live volume. And yea hauling those around was a pain. The Ampeg SVT was heavier though.
Had one of those, too.
this amp only exists because of Dick Dale. rest in peace, king
Back in 2008, I went to a Carl Wilson Foundation benefit show in W. Hollywood. Dick Dale did a short set, and although he had not been in good health at the time, he plugged in his Fender and let everyone know that he was still King of the Surf Guitar. I kept expecting to see smoke coming out of the amp. Afterward, he was seen chatting with Evie Sands, who also plays a left-handed Fender on occasion.
I saw Fleetwood Mac when they opened for the grateful dead at the warehouse in New Orleans and I want to say it was 1970. All of them were playing these amplifiers but they were called super showman amps. The top was a preamp and the bottoms were powered speakers as far as I can remember. This was the last gig that Peter Green played with band. That was the night that the grateful dead was arrested in New Orleans. Hence the song... that was the last gig with Danny Kerwin, Jeremy Spencer and Peter Green with Mick Fleetwood on drums and McVie on bass. The great thing about that band was that one guitar player had a telecaster, one had a Stratocaster and Peter Green had A Les Paul. So you had three guitars with completely unique pick up configurations all playing at the same time. They did Oh Well and it was scary how good they were.
Wow.
Thx, for telling this story.. It's history... RIP-Peter Green
Now THAT was a pleasure to read! To be in the know about this special night is really cool. Thanks for sharing!
Actually, the Super Showman that was a pre-amp head that was the solid state SS 1000 model. Not sure if the "chicken came before the egg", but VOX at the same time had the Series 90, in a Royal Guardsman size and a Beatle size. Fender offered two power cabinets, standard was the XFL-1000 with a 4x12, each 2x12 feed by a 70 watt RMS solid state amp for a total of 140 watts RMS. Optional was the XFL-2000, with an 8x10 cabinet, also 140 watts RMS.
Fender and VOX utilized 3 channels, and had Reverb, Tremolo, Fuzz, and an E-Tuner built in, along with Bright switches. Fender, however, offered a sound expander called Dimension IV. It gave a Leslie rotating speaker effect, achieved by sensors rotating in and out of an oil bath. It worked well, and I would use it on songs like Because by the Dave Clark 5. The fuzz had Attack adjustments, and was useful also. However, without those effects, it sounded "dead". But then, I switched to bass, and this amp shined there.
As for who used it? Focus. And, Ike Turner used it on bass. Fender did have other solid state models, the Twin, Pro, even a Bassman and PA. There is footage of these with the Beatles in the studio, but the last time they played in public, up on the roof of the Apple Corps headquarters, it was all tube Fender. They got smart, just as they did with the Thomas Organ a.k.a.VOX, solid state amps.
@@greensavant2573 I never actually played through one but this guy makes it sound pretty good.
You should do a cover of Lenny by SRV with that wow
Although his family already has enough money.
That would sound stellar
“I need smaller amps for today’s volume limits in clubs” Also Matthew Scott: “I bought the biggest and loudest amp I could find”
I had a 66’ showman with the dual 15” d130f cabinet and loved playing it outside festivals where I could actually open it up and feel the awesome power! When you get it to wide open and the air being moved past your body is amazing. Then the sound will cause arrhythmia in your heart beat!
Brings back memories of when I heard a local band (The Skunks) play in Milwaukee at a car show. The hall was huge and they played through Dual Showman's with JBL's and no other sound reinforcement. When I was easily 100 feet of more from the stage I could feel my pants legs quivering from the bass guitar. It was amazing how those amps filled that massive room with sound. Back then if you played guitar the Fender amps were highly sought after and if you had the money you paid for the JBL upgrade.
Hey Matthew...
One thing I love about youtube is coming across these type of vids. WOW...been playing 35 years and never heard of this amp...so cool...you seem like a great guy a great player. one thing that resonated with me and really touched me...the history of these pieces and the connection of music and you said such an important thing and in this day and age....is I feel so lost in so many ways. but the actual connection with human beings. You drove to another state and visited with another human being over a guitar amp. THAT is BRILLIANT! I bet he felt the same...all these years later and because of a purchase of a 200 hundred dollar as you say behemoth....he made a connection to a young musician/gentleman.....as long as you keep that message alive ill keep subscribing. :) well done!
All the best

I bet it would sound good with a metalzone.
New Ola Englund video: Will it Chug? - Massive 60s fender amp
Beepbeep Lettuce link?
+@@moralesericjamesg9571
Just type in ola englund will it chug, he's got a bunch of videos on stuff.
Mr. Fancypants thanks:)
I neee this amp as a bedroom player... can it be loud enough as a practice amp?
Chuck Berry. 2 Dual Showman Reverbs were part of his contract rider.
Ou wow
I've seen videos with him playing with both of them running. And that was in Chuck's later years.
He needed to run two because his Gibsons were wired for stereo so one pickup in one and one to another. That is also why his sound was so special, he was using both pickups at the same time.
I owned one of these in the late 60's to early 70's. I used it for Guitar and Bass, because I played both.
In the late 60's stars from the 50's would tour with just their guitars, and the clubs that booked them would have to supply both a backup band, and an amp.
Bo Diddley requested a Dual Showman Reverb, so when he came to Boston to play at the Kenmore Club that manager used to contact me to rent my amp for the weekend. I brought the Dual Showman Reverb down, set it up -- Bo Diddly used to like to have the cabinet horizontally with the head on top.
I hung out with him backstage a couple of times that weekend. He was pretty cool, and loved my Dual Showman Reverb. It was pristine, so the tones were perfect for him.
I also had the covers, but not those sketchy handles.
These kinda stories are so cool. It sucks most of them get lost in TH-cam comments. Anyways, thanks for sharing that. I'm sure it was cool at the time when it happened but to look back now and think about it, man that's pretty rad
Thanks for posting I saw Bo at a smaller Detroit Club His friend Albert King showed ups as well. I saw Him and Chuck Berry with similar amps.
The clean tone is absolutely superb, but I want to hear what a fuzz sounds like through it.
we didn't mike amps in those days. outside field parties etc needed the volume, a deluxe reverb wouldn't cut it. that thing sounds flippin' glorious!!!
Ted Nugent used to play through five fender super twins sitting on top of five showman cabinets.
@@terrylaswell7250 the lords rig
The Amboy dukes
I would love to see the face of the sound guy when you drag that into a gig.
He'll probably just say "well looks like I'm not needed here". LOL!
He'd just have an aneurysm right there and fall over more than likely
Brings back memories from my college days (1973) ... got one of those 15” speakers that was blown and re-glued the voice coil ... then mounted it into a plastic garbage can and cut a small port in it’s side ... connected it up to a Fender amp I had, then ... WOW! Those 15” speakers were amazing, especially the base! Happy tunes!
Very cool. I love your popping Hendrix-esque licks there. I’m lucky enough to have a Super Reverb black face (1963?) modified into a head by someone in the past. It came with a seperate 2x12” closed back cabinet (1967) with original Utah speakers . Got it for next to nothing at the time I didn’t know how great it would be. These amps sound awesome.
I'd love to own vintage gear, but my job says "naw, you can't afford that." I love how you showcase these amps and guitars, keep it up!
I bought my 72 silverface bassman for $150.
GuitarMinds what kind of condition was it in?
Put it on credit cards lol
@@rolandramirez4557 just needed some basic cleaning/maintenance, keep looking out there my friend, they are out there, you gotta know where and when to look.
I understand man. It's taken me years to get to this point. At least this amp was reasonable.
I grew up.with my dad playing one of those cans with his bassman 50 head for his bass rig. he still has 3 or 4 of the cabs with original jbls still in them and they sound amazing
There is one bigger fender i know of. The 400ps. It was a giant bass amp meant to compete with ampegs svt. 400 watts, 3 cabinets, it was so powerful that the vibration of the cabs meant the head needed a separate stand to sit on. I have never played or heard one but it is super cool and i love it to death.
What a beauty! I can’t imagine what that thing would pump out! It sounds amazing even on the iPhone!
I have a BF Super that will absolutely shake the house.
Great score Matt!
Steve Howe of Yes used this amp in the early 70s
Yep !
Oh cool Steve Howe is one of my favorite guitarist of all time
His best live tone.
@@JordyMarincic Dave Gilmour used Hiwatts into WEM 4x12's at Pompeii.
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games I think he ran all of his guitars through the same rig.
i THINK NEIL YOUNG USED THIS IN THE 70'S, AND IT IS WHERE THE ICONIC STAGE DESIGN FROM RUST NEVER SLEEPS TOUR WAS DEVELOPED FROM A EXAGGERATION OF HIS 70 STAGE SHOW.
I was just thinking about that.
Also like the Weld stage design from early 90s.
Did you go partially deaf from that show because you’re shouting, man.
All caps generally means increased urgency or highlight, not a raised voice. I did not see an exclamation point. This is not a text to you. Welcome to the world...please drive thru....
@@hyperluminalreality1 its a joke dufus
I saw Dick Dale using several of these back in 2000 ( BIG sound ) he was on tour in Iowa actually hung out with Dale prior to the concert
Probably a million people have already told you by now, but Steve Howe used 2 of these (!!) onstage when he played with Yes in the 1970s. He had them at Anaheim Stadium in SoCal when I saw the band there when I was in high school. That ultra clean sound with so much headroom matched well with his Gibson-175 that is closely associated with him due to it being primarily thought of as a jazz guitar, yet there he was, playing prog rock. The JBLs no doubt helped out (keeping it clean). You sound like a good player, kid - keep it up, my dog.
I was hoping someone would mention Howe. He had a road kit that was painted a sunrise fade from top to bottom. First saw it in 1972 on Close to the Edge tour. At that time it was his signature sound before he got digital pedals, like the Kong A3.
As I recall, Dick Dale helped develop & used a Dual Showman.
In the early 80s a friend bought one of these cabs. He wheeled it up the road to a pub gig for that night. It was still on the stage 4 weeks later! Saving up for the hire truck.
Watched the end. That tone out of that cab is incredible.
Beautiful playing
So so so, very cool, music is in my head every day. I am blessed! Thank you for the post. The amp the story all a colorful gift. SRV influence sounded great. The answer is both the fifth teens and the cabinets make the sound magic happen. Marshall has their own credibility but Leo was the Master of tone! Why would Jeff Beck, Jimi, SRV, EC, and Buddy go there? What a find! Good vibes
Sweet sounding cleans Matthew, this is really, really nice.
i love the johan segeborn ''lets check it out'' intro that you did
"So, here's wonderwall."
Bruce is correct. Dick Dale used a dual showman, I knew a friend of his, we used to go to the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach and listen to him! Leo Fender developed it for him and Dick kept blowing out the speakers and Leo asked him why the hell do you need it so loud. He said because it’s surf music and it HAS to be loud! Something else a lot of people don’t know is that the reverb was pretty much developed by Leo for Dick. to better emulate the sound of waves. I’m an old fart of 70 years old, but I’ve seen a lot of music history. It’s good to see young guys like yourself so interested in collecting history. Wish I had even a 10th of your collection.
Ok. My main comment is, damn dog, you are an awesome player with an actual style that's evident right away. The amp is inspiring you to play what you did. I love when that happens. This is the first time seeing you. I'm smashing the subscribe button just to hear more playing through different amps to see what they bring out.
Take my advice ..... don’t let this amp go
Another great video, Matthew! watched until the settings, keep them coming!
Amazing amp!!! I'm getting crazy with that SRV super clean and tube screaming sound . I didn't know nothing about this amp and now is in my music equipment wish list. Thanks a lot !!!!
Back than the amps were not generally mic'd and the P.A.'s were generally just for vocals so a guitar player had to be loud !
Pictures show that Jimi used Showman Amps and cabs at a Hollywood Bowl Concert.
Had one of those cabs in the early 80s. Had a peavey duece 2x12 combo on top of it. That rig with a LP custom and original TS9 tube screamer made the guys with marshalls scratch thier heads at how much of a monster tone i got.
Love the oddities and history with them. Thanks for this
Love your playing mate, and you've a great attitude. You'll go a long way in life.
That’s a beauty! Can’t imagine how that must feel to play
My buddies had had one of those when I was a kid around 30 years ago. My god did it sound amazing. Actually bought a 4×15 classic sunn cab from him years later.
4-15? Must of had to use a forklift!
@@williamgregory6684 it was ridiculously heavy! On and one little hand on each side at the top of the cab in the oddest spot which made it the most awkward thing to carry. The speakers pointed inward in a V shape, thumped good too.
I appreciate you hard work you put into this. Top quality video, man.
That’s the most beautiful clean tone I ever heard! Man you’re saver! ✌️
Dick Dale R.I.P. helped Leo develop the duel showman...Ted Nugent also used them early on.
Dick Dale.. forgot that's the hole story behind these amps
Gene B. Ted nugent actually used twin reverbs with dual showman cabs. I believe Mark Farner used these back in the day.
@@MatthewScottmusic I saw Dick Dale last year. The tone was incredible. You can really hear the bass come through on your video. That's one of the things I remember with Dick Dale, the bass going through you. Love that!
Glad somebody brought up the mandatory topic of Dick Dale concerning this amp's existence because I was just about to. I stood about 5 feet from this amp in 2006 and had my face blown off.
Mark Farner used West Amps and Cabs with D130s.
These dual 15" speaker cabinets were aimed at pedal steel players. I owned one back in the day and paired it with Sho ~ Bud Professional Double neck. Enjoy that amp.
A pedal steel thru that thing would tear your head off. Ha ha. But makes sense though.
It was actually intended as a bass amp.
nice Eric Johnson-esque tone and chording, Matthew! I had an Ampeg V-4 in the 70's that dwarfed me, and my bassplayer had the SVT with two 8x10s that were like refrigerators. Old gear always has great stories. Thanks! :)
Very cool find! Sounds great. Makes me miss my 62 Fender Twin Reverb that was stolen in the 90's.
Man that is such a sweet sound
Sounds like you could get some epic ambient tones with this amp.
'wow' indeed Matthew. Thanks for the tour.
I had one of those cabinets back in the 80s, I used it for bass. I had an ancient sunn 200wt head, " with fan built into side of the head. It would move your pants leg and rattle the fillings in your teeth when the "brown" note was deployed. Loved that rig!
Roadie: I quit.
Eric Clapton in 1970 with Delaney and Bonnie used the Fender Dual Showman . Also Peter Green and Danny Kirwan with Early Fleetwood Mac. Great tone and real nice playing . Love this amp!
Awesome vintage setup. Played bass through a 67 Dual Showman with two , double JBL 15" cabinets for many years.
Beautiful piece of history, amazing tone. What I wouldn't give to plug into that!
Sometimes you found these and the big bassmans at a lot of high schools in the 70's
Very cool find. I’ve got a Buddy Guy Strat that looks like your honey blonde Strat. Mine has a maple neck with Gold Lace Sensors. It sounds heavenly. I don’t think I’ve seen a video with you playing that one.
That amp is crazy cool. I love the story behind it and you pulling out the pricing. Nice hearing a bit of history with how you acquired it.
P.S. Great playing per usual. I especially enjoyed the Open E jam mixed with the octave noodling.
Video on it coming soon
Interesting story and history of this monstrosity, cool stuff man. When I was a kid in the 60's my dad was big into and involved with several area gospel quartet groups. One of the groups had monster amps like this and played some very cool Fender and Gibson guitars. One group had no bass and the guitarist played a beautiful blue Teisco Del Rey WG 4L and incorporated some bass in his picking style. It was church and gospel concerts but these dude's took church music to a whole different rocking, soulful, sometimes bluesy level. Man it was so cool! Those cool dudes really brought it for that genera of music, and unfortunately they have passed on. Sadly groups like them are fading away as well. Some of my most fond memories growing up. Just found your channel and really enjoying it young Bro. keep up the great work.
Great sound on your video. This rig sounds breathtaking. 1969 was my heyday and I have never heard of this model. Thanks for demoing it!
I remember seeing Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac using these..in fact a whole row of them as backline-in around 1970/71
15" are my everything. You have no idea. Session 400s, vibroverb that's down atm. Even the newer exsilor amp. 10" have the cut and mids, but the bass and thickness of 12" (without the honk). I used to run (in big shows) a super reverb daisy chained to a deluxe reverb. For small shows or practice I used a Princeton daisy chained to a deluxe. 3 years ago I bought a 1965 super reverb off of reverb with a 15" evh for dirt cheap and my life changed. That srv/Lonnie mack, Roy Buchanan, tone in one. I'd love to have that cab or that empty cab to load up with patriots. Ahhh they are so musical and cut thru the mix soooooo so so good. Love you did this video. From your 300th some subscriber, take care and keep this content coming. Much love, Greg
...
I find I'm playing my guitar heads through my bass cabinet lately. Fender Spectrum with a 15" and 2 - 10's. It puts everything else I have to shame.
Edit...it's an 18" and 2 - 10's in the fender bass cab. Sorry. The Peavey has the 15" (it's ok too).
Hey Greg your are right the 15s are changing the game for me too. Theres a reason stevie kept them
Very unique and intriguing video. I enjoyed every second of it. I really hope that some day i can play as well as you. I was extremely impressed with your demonstration. Coincidentally Im learning "Lenny" right now. As soon as you hit those opening chords my ears perked up. I wanna compliment you on the unique twist you gave it. VERY! COOL!

Wow! Love that tone!
Played this at a gig 20 years ago. Belonged to the drummer. Had dodgy earth. Arrgh!! Great sound. Used to rehearse with it too. Chuck berry used two on stage. Weighs a ton. It was 135watts
Albert king used this cabinet at the Fillmore .BLUES POWER. Looks like he had a different head . There is a video on you tube .1970
What a rich and full (!) tone. Simply amazing! Fender built a few great amps/setups and this was one of them.
Thx for always great stories!
Hey pal. Very tasteful playing. The bandmaster/twin reverb/Dual Showman has always been my main rigs. Like you said the highs verb and vibrato are lush af. Crank em to 5 and you’re in Led zeppelin. The bass response is perfect. Always. Always drip edge or at least pre 72 master volume. I blackface them. Bridge the effects over to Chanel 1. You can bridge the amp, or amps. They are awkward to transport but not awful to carry (another reason I prefer the BMR, but I prefer the dual showman 2x15. Though the jbl 12s on a band master sound great too. Thanks for the vid pal.
I personally love 15" speakers with guitar
Vegas Cycling Freak Indeed I wonder how few manufacturers make 1X12’
The top of the line Fender Tweed 56 (I think it is) uses a 15 and it sounds great. To my ears at least.
My first amp was a DanElectro with a single 15. It always sounded more “real” to me but at the time I lusted for a Crate with the overdrive control. Eventually, I figured out how to use a small home stereo amp as a preamp to get the gain I wanted back then. Wish I had it now, I’d play that clean sound all day long.
Peavey Delta Blues or whatever it's called, great used amp deal with a 15".
Definitely different response. I like it.
This is the video that made me want a dual showman. I finally was able to get one yesterday. I'm so impressed with it
Great content man keep it coming!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one that sits on the floor like that to play literally right in front of my couch.
Me, listening to this through my iPhone speaker: ah yes wow sounds so good
Love your channel bro! You got some sick chops and really vool and rare gear. Sincerely awesome!

That opening shrug was classic and exactly what you do when the rest of the band is staring at you after setup. Even laying on its side you only drop like 10% obnoxiousness. 15s for the win.
You realize now that everyone wants to hear this amp dimed out, right? Well...everyone but your neighbors.
it will happen at some point
@@MatthewScottmusic Judging from the bass response on it, it may loosen up some walls. Or drop some plaster.
When he dimes it out, everyone is his neighbour...
I've got a neighbor who, every time I shred when I get home from work at 2:00 AM, throws a brick through my window so he can hear it better!
@@alanhardman2447 lmaof I'm so stealin this!
Truly Awesome amp !!! Thanks for sharing this.
Glad you like it!
I have one of these--the exact same model, in fact, purchased new in 1974. The cleans are amazing on it. It also takes pedals well, so it's easy to tailor the sound if desired. These days I use it with a 1x15 cabinet I had custom built to better fit my home studio, though I still have the original 2x15 cabinet as well. Jimi Hendrix used the Dual Showman (actually more than one) in both studio and live performance in 1968.
