tomsteel,
I had one of those many,many years ago and I loved it.
It was close to the Sho-Bud single channel but the Sho-Bud was somewhat the better amp. Still the Gretsch Pro Steel was a great amp especialy if you didn't have to push it too hard.
I'll say this, I wish I still had mine even though it looked like it had been drug behined a truck.

I bought a new one with a Sho-Bud steel in 1983 when Gretsch was marketing them as a "package" with their ShoBuds. I soon found that it was underpowered for the club-work I was doing then so I bought a Standel for a work amp.

I still have the Nashville Pro-steel and it is almost like new....has a great tone but I have used it only at home or when it can be mic'ed. www.genejones.com <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Gene Jones on 25 March 2002 at 05:01 AM.]</p></FONT>
