Bobby,
If you'll look at the picture of Gene's amp, mine is just like that also. The amp you are thinking of is the Sho Bud model of this amp. The only thing wrong with them is Sho Bud put the wrong value pots in the treble and bass circuit of their earlier models. You can change the slides to the right value and get a much better sound from the older Sho Buds. That is according to Mr.Woody Woodell.

Our amps are the Kenneth Cain Model Sho Bud circuit without the meters and tremelo
circuit. These Gretsch amps are fairly simple with treble, bass, mid, reverb and volume knobs. There is a push switch next to the inputs that adds brightness when in is pushed in.

Thanks Gene and Harold.I've seen an amp like the above posted but never played thru one.I was trying to be nice in my first post but the Sho~Bud (I) had with the slide pots and VU meter was the worst sounding amp I've ever owned.Maybe I just had a bad one...bb
