(It's not Tuck & Roll.... It's the "Skin your Knuckles" tolex version.)

In 1977 or 78, I wanted an amp that would keep up with a drummer for outdoor gigs. I played Fender Twins, Supers and they just sounded sort of drab & muffled.

The shop had Kustom T&R's, however the sales guy suggested a "Big K" Lead III head & 4-12 cabinet. I suppose, looking back..... it was a 70's version, solid state modeling amp.

It's the heaviest , "Boat Anchor" rig anyone could imagine, & it still functions as new & sounds wonderful. Multiple times in the past I tried giving it away & nobody would even take it.

I just put it back together & gave it a stretch.......

Harmonic, Wonderful Bliss.

(Whoops.....I forgot to say LOUD.)
