Well, they've built amps in toasters, kettles, cigarette boxes... Now ammo boxes!?

    What on earth is with people building amps into odd containers. I just don't get it, is there really a market for these amps? :confused:

    Still, this one should amuse, as it's a 50-watt tube head, supposed "Designed by a naval nuclear-trained engineering officer and built to Military Specifications using NASA/MIL-SPEC components."

    Interesting soundclip here.

    Hmm, thats odd...

    But its not that odd that an amp is built to military spec, the original hiwatts were. Their wiring deisgner Harry Joyce was trained by US soldiers. :)

    That is one very cool looking amp! Seriously cool. If they made a little combo out of something similar I'd be all over it.

    Sounds pretty sh1t....not surprised there at all... :rolleyes:

    If you can't put your amp together in a black box and sell it on the basis of it's tone (because it's crap), then the next best thing is put it in a novelty box and sell it as a novelty.

    Did you listen to the soundclip? It's more bluesy than anything.
