Sounds good, nice crunch
Ah, the troll doll was from the 1969 them.
nice sounding amp, loved the troll doll I can remember when they first came out, woops now I am telling my age
At least it still sounds good
That was a fair chunk of money in 1969. But it sounds pretty good. Good playing too. Good rockabilly.
