: Just a note of probably little interest, but I played some Wilder amps in the late 60's (?) at a local music store. They seemed to be very well made and were certainly the largest guitar amps in the store. We didn't know much about
: turning up an amp back then - I think we used some no-name fuzz box that was shaped like a wedge with two knobs mounted on the front of the wedge and a built in plastic 1/4" cord / plug coming out the side. Never saw these anywhere else. This was about the same time that a little known company in Mississippi called Peavey was making really large amps and speaker cabs ( I think they may even have had a 6X12" cab) and Kustom had made their 'rolled & pleated' cabs. God bless, Stan
