Nude pics of a 1952 Alamo
My magic 1952 Alamo has pumped out greasy Texas tone for 12 presidential administrations. The brilliant Danny Ghinn is the first amp tech to ever turn a screw on it. Patented by AT&T!
Behold. How so few parts can deliver so much tone is a miracle.

And I have found the inverse to be true as well !

That's a nice looking time capsule. 
Clips?
What did the amp need that made you open it? |

I've played it on lots of studio dates, but I don't really know how to edit and upload clips.
I just got GarageBand and a new iMac, and am in the steep part of the learning curve. That led me to reconfiguring my bedroom rig, using the Alamo (She'd been on hiatus), and encountering some weird crackling noise.

 That AC reminds me of an old Dylan tune: "I've got mixed up confusion, man it's a-killin' me!"
