Robben used these waay back when. There's a clip on YouTube of him using one actually. I'll try and dig it out.

A friend of mine has the 1x12" version and it's a beast. It weighs about the same as a moderately large Pacific island but, other than that, it's a great little amp.

I have no connection with the seller, btw. It was just a heads-up. Smile

A lot of "The Yellowjackets" album is this amp. The solos on "Imperial Strut" and I believe "Rush Hour" and "The Hornet". I had the 2-12 versions in the eighties and I have a 1-12 model now. What Robben used to do was take out the 2-12 baffle, put in a 1-12 baffle and mount an EV in there. I saw this at a clinic and he had two of them, running stereo I guess. I think he used the 2-12s because you can't get an EV into the 1-12 model. At least I haven't been able to.
